📌Last week we ran a four day moving and handling and risk assessor training course at the huge ambulance hub and HQ for West Midlands Ambulance Trust. In addition to members of the trusts education team were two paramedic lecturers from the University of West Scotland and a Training Officer from DHL ambulance services in London.
This mix lead to an opportunity to share ideas and practice between the public, independent and academic sectors. All three organisations have been customers for many years.
Feedback was first class and along with learning best practice and conducting risk assessments they found the unique method of instruction they were taught to use very valuable particularly as one person had no prior training skills and was able to deliver a faultless micro teach. Success results in the awarding of the QNUK Level 3 award Moving and Handling for Trainers ( Emergency Services) which is on the regulated qualifications framework. Well done to all involved.
