Competency Assessment

This page outlines the Moving and Handling assessment approach within NHSGGC

In essence, Induction (Foundation) courses remain the same, however, rather than providing refresher training for everybody irrespective of need, a process of assessment is used to identify where additional support may be required.

An overview of the approach and how it relates to the Acute Services and for Partnerships is provided.
