Helping someone stand, turn or move between a bed, chair and bathroom can place strain on both the person and their carer when the right technique or equipment is not available.
Patient handling equipment can include transfer boards, slide sheets, lifters and slings. The right option depends on the person, their mobility, the home and professional assessment.
Always seek guidance from an occupational therapist, physiotherapist or other qualified health professional before selecting or using transfer equipment.
