Healthcare Worker Core Skills Training

Charles Bloe Training Ltd are excited to offer a new core skills training course for healthcare workers, which is delivered face to face. This course will teach you the basic skills of:

• People handling including the safe use of a hoist, sling sizing and the associated legislative considerations.
  In health and social care settings, the routine tasks often involve the manual movement, lifting, or handling of individuals. This section of the training course aims to instruct participants on the necessary skills and potential risks associated with the safe movement of people.  We will cover the theory and legal aspects of biomechanics and safe systems of work, as well as practice of safe transfers with, and without, lifting equipment such as a hoist.  We will look at the safe fitting of slings and how to establish if the equipment is suitable for the client’s needs.

• Basic Life Support including CPR, use of an AED, rescue from choking and the recovery position.
  In your role, you may find yourself faced with potentially life-threatening situation. Basic Life Support is designed to give you the knowledge and understanding required to react quickly and appropriately in emergency situations, increasing the safety and quality of care provided. This section will help provide you with the knowledge and skills to administer potentially life-saving help. It teaches you how to assess situations and utilise techniques such as cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the recovery position, and how to react if the client is choking. 
• Understanding neurological conditions, including Dementia, Parkinson’s and Huntington’s.
  Whatever your role is in healthcare, the challenge of providing care for people with long-term neurological disorders can be daunting.  This part of the course is designed to address any concerns you have and help you to feel confident in providing the right type of care. A common result of neurological conditions is the presence of stress and distress and a focus of the session will be understanding distress and what the common underlying cause can be, as well as help you to demonstrate confidence when communicating with the client.
