A free half-day workshop about Single Handed Care will take place at Bootle Town Hall on Tuesday, 5 February.

This is a chance to find out more about Moving with Dignity, the Single Handed Care approach and how it fits in to the national approach to Care Provision.

This session will benefit:

• Carers
• Care Home staff
• Care workers
• Healthcare professionals

The introduction of Single Handed Care will mean that there is a potential for new care packages for those who are currently in receipt of double up care. This comes as developments in moving and handling have indicated that in many cases a single-handed carer can provide care safely on their own.

The workshop will provide caregivers and other healthcare professionals with the opportunity to gain practical experience of the type of tasks and equipment that will be used to perform Single Handed Care.

By attending the session, you will ensure that you are updated on what care professionals and service users can expect from Single Handed Care and work towards achieving successful outcomes for our clients, yourself and Sefton Council.

To apply for a session, either morning (starting at 9am), or afternoon (starting at 12:45) please email admin.ots@sefton.gov.uk stating which session.
