Patient moving and handling

This self-assessment helps you reflect on your confidence with patient moving and handling. It is for healthcare workers at foundation level. It does not prove competence and does not replace formal training, supervision, observation, employer checks, professional judgement or local policy. Any score of 1 or 2 in this assessment should prompt you to review moving and handling procedures and speak with your manager or supervisor before carrying out related tasks independently. Do not carry out unsafe moving and handling tasks without support.
