I am a Paediatric Physiotherapist who works in a special school. With
everyone now becoming aware of manual handling and risk assessment, the
staff at the school have decided to leave the children(severly disabled),
sitting on their hoist slings in their wheelchairs allday to prevent them
having to keep taking the sling on and off each time they need to be
hoisted.
Does anyone have an opinion on this practise or any hard evidence for or
against it.
Much obliged,
Lisa
