Slide Sheet Guidance

Thank you for scanning the QR code. This page is designed to provide additional learning to support the safe use of slide sheets in line with professional standards and best practice.
 

The information provided here is intended to reinforce your training and highlight key considerations when using slide sheets for patient movement and repositioning. Please ensure that all patient handling tasks are carried out in line with:
 

• Your organisation’s manual handling policies

• National Back Exchange Guidelines or equivalent local frameworks

• The manufacturer’s Instructions for Use (IFU)
   

A full risk assessment must always be completed before use, and all procedures must comply with the Moving and Handling Operations Regulations 1992 and local governance.
