We train client handling skills extensively across NHS, Private and Public Care Homes, Social Services, Borough and County Councils, Charities and Airport Industries.
Osteopaths For Industry (OFI) is a highly respected provider of client handling training to many organisations across a wide spectrum of settings. Most of our work is gained through repeat business and recommendations.
Osteopaths For Industry successfully trained a number of our staff, including managers and care assistants to be qualified moving and handling trainers. I have received very positive feedback from all the trainees involved in the training, which gave them both the skills and confidence to carry out training on hoists and slide sheets within our care homes.
Senior Management, OFI Client
We offer a portfolio of client handling training modules and courses and can deliver ‘bespoke’ solutions, tailoring courses to accommodate your exact training requirements.
"OFI client handling courses teach delegates how to apply the appropriate techniques and principles of movement, encouraging a confidence in the delegate that their client handling techniques optimise the caring aspects of their work and safety for themselves. The courses equip carers with sufficient knowledge to practice the most appropriate handling techniques and minimise the risk of injury. Further the training will ensure delegate’s thorough understanding of the effects of cumulative trauma and the bodies own physical limitations."
Damon Peterson, OFI Client Handling Instructor.
OFI are able to train-up key members of staff to become 'People Handling Advisers' so that they are then able to run training sessions for their own in-house staff. Alternatively OFI can provide 'direct to the staff' client handling training courses.
Osteopaths For Industry work with our clients in developing customised solutions by tailoring the contents of our courses to meet the exact training needs of their staff. The basics of functional anatomy and the principles of good movement are covered in an interesting and easy-to-understand way. Training moves quickly on, to focus on practical interactive sessions, reinforcing theory using different client handling techniques.
OFI’s training team are all fully trained physical therapists and have an excellent reputation of delivering effective, easy to understand, ‘jargon’ free client handling training courses.
I would recommend Osteopaths For Industry to any organisation who aim to have an informed workforce as they provide interesting and relevant client handling training, taught by certainly some of the very best instructors in the business.
