Patient transfer course
Ferno, a patient handling and medical equipment manufacturer, has launched a new training service for new and existing customers to ensure the safe use of patient transfer equipment.
The training service covers emergency medical services, building evacuation and the funeral and mortuary sector.
Managing director Jon Ellis said: “Where anyone is involved in the transfer of patients or injured people, Ferno has developed a training programme to ensure that operators are using the equipment to the highest standard with the emphasis on protecting the safety of the operator and the patient.”
During the half-day Ferno equipment “Familiarisation” course, delegates will develop a greater understanding of the features and benefits of Ferno’s specialist equipment as well as the knowledge required in the correct deployment in a range of scenarios.
Ferno has also launched an extended course aimed at “Training the Trainer” – which helps delegates to put in place the skills and knowledge to train designated personnel in-house.
