Hospitals have varying lifting needs
Liko has extensive experience working with moving and handling patients in hospitals. On most hospital wards, the need for transfers is great, for example, to and from CT Scan, operation tables, bed, toilet or for rehabilitation.
Research shows that the need to transfer patients also leads the hospital staff to experience the heavy working environment. Injuries related to patient transfers are very common.
We can offer courses in risk assessment and transfer techniques specially adapted to staff in hospitals.
