HEALTH & SAFETY IN SAFE HANDS
RoSPA explains why choosing its Safer People Handling qualifications is imperative for healthcare professionals.
In environments such as hospitals, care homes, and home care settings, where individuals require assistance with movement, there is always a risk of injury. Healthcare professionals may be exposed to musculoskeletal injuries, and the individuals being assisted are at risk of harm if proper techniques aren’t used. RoSPA’s Safer People Handling qualifications are designed to mitigate these risks by ensuring that employees are trained to move people safely and efficiently.
WHAT MAKES RoSPA QUALIFICATIONS
STAND OUT? RoSPA's qualifications are Ofqual- regulated, providing learners with quality assurance that is recognised by employers and regulatory bodies. By choosing RoSPA, individuals are guaranteed that their certification meets the highest standards and offers real-world applicability. The quality of these qualifications goes beyond mere regulatory compliance. They are developed by leading experts from the NHS and educational institutions, ensuring that learners receive relevant, up-to-date, and effective training.
A key aspect of RoSPA’s qualifications is the focus on the Handling of People (HOP7) standards, the recognised benchmark for safer people handling in care settings. By aligning with these standards, RoSPA ensures its qualifications are at the forefront of safer handling practices, meeting the most stringent guidelines and best practices in the field.
