Manual Handling: Law and Practice- Training 25/05 « Result #8 on Mar 31, 2006, 3:33am »
Manual handling: law and practice Michael Mandelstam for Disabled Living, 25th May 2006
The Health and Safety Executive continues to report that manual handling is responsible for significant levels of work injuries to employees in the health and social care fields. Yet at the same time, there is also concern that manual handling policies or practices improperly applied can result in detriment to clients and patients. Thus, from every point of view — occupational therapists, managers, employers, clients/patients and carers — manual handling policy and practice are important matters.
This course illustrates the law relating to manual handling by analysing, in practical terms, the Manual Handling Operations Regulations 1992, their place in the wider context of health and safety legislation, the common law of negligence as applied to manual handling - and guidance from the Health and Safety Executive (including Handling home care, published 2002), the Royal College of Nursing, BackCare, the Chartered Society of Physiotherapy (revised guidelines published 2002) and the College of Occupational Therapists. More recently, in 2005, Guide to the Handling of Patients was republished in a 5th edition as Guide to the handling of people (BackCare).
The course emphasises the importance of balanced decision-making in weighing up patient and client need - against the safety of carers (formal and informal). Specific issues considered in the course include risk assessment, rehabilitation, approaches of different professions, advice-giving, delegation, demonstration, cumulative strain, care plans, decision-making and documentation, equipment provision, community care duties, direct payments, human rights - and so on.
The costs to an organization of not striking the balance correctly are considerable; on the one hand the possibility of ruinous litigation, on the other failing to carry out the organisation’s duties to assist and to meet the needs of clients or patients.
The course considers all of the above, and explores, in particular, the relationship between lawful practice and professional good practice. It is fully participative, includes group work and ample time for questions and discussion, avoids legal jargon and deals with law in the context of everyday practice.
Michael Mandelstam worked in the voluntary sector and at the Department of Health. He now works independently providing legal advice and training on community care issues to many statutory and voluntary organisations. He has written a number of widely used books including Manual handling in health and social care: an A to Z of law and practice (2002); Community care practice and the law (3rd edition, 2005); Occupational therapy law and good practice (2005).
£75 includes lunch and refreshments.

Paediatric Spinal Injuries « Result #10 on Feb 1, 2006, 12:32pm »
The incidence of spinal injuries in children is reported to be 2 to 5% of all spine injuries (Reynolds, 2000). Although uncommon, these injuries are more common than anyone would like them to be, and they can be associated with significant morbidity posing challenges to care. Automotive injuries are the most common cause followed by sporting injuries. More than half of pediatric spinal cord injuries occur in the cervical area (Brown, Brunn, & Garcia, 2001; Cirak et al., 2004; Eleraky, Theodore, Adams, Rekate, & Sonntag, 2000).
