Refresher Course in Patient Handling
Our time in Lourdes is always a deeply special part of the year, a moment to connect, share experiences and come together to help those in need. Social media speaks volumes about the time we spent together.
This year, Krista Firman kindly gave her time to support volunteers by delivering a refresher course in patient handling. The session took place on Monday 27th April, just ahead of everyone’s departure to Lourdes.
Krista highlighted the importance of bed mobility, including how to safely assist a patient from a lying position to sitting on the edge of the bed. She also demonstrated effective techniques for transfers from bed to chair, wheelchair and commode, while emphasising essential safety precautions throughout.
Our Pilgrimage to Lourdes brought together another wonderful experience for patients and pilgrims alike.
