CPD opportunity for OTs on safer bed transfers with practical and theoretical recommendations

In response to high demand, Shaun Masters, Occupational Therapist (OT) and Theraposture Equipment Specialist, will be re-running his popular safe bed transfers webinars for the final time over three dates in May and June.

The free CPD webinar, ‘Helping adult clients get legs into bed’, will provide practical and theoretical recommendations for client independence and safer bed transfers.

Shaun will explore understanding equipment; appropriate clinical assessment; future-proofing; sleep hygiene; suitability for specific client conditions; grants, loans and provision; and manual handling using two of Theraposture’s most popular products, the Leg Lifter and Rotoflex rotating bed.

Theraposture says its previous CPD sessions have been well attended and rewarding for all.

“I’m delighted that my educational sessions continue to deliver high levels of engagement from fellow OTs,” commented Shaun. “The Q&A sessions have provided the ideal platform to explore the latest community challenges regarding safe bed transfers.

“As my next three sessions will be the last on this topical subject for a while, I’d encourage all OTs who haven’t already attended to sign up for free so they don’t miss out on our discussions regarding enhanced clinical practice.”

There are three available time slots for these sessions:

• Friday 20 May 2022: 9.30-10.15
• Wednesday 25 May 2022: 9.30-10.15
• Monday 13 June 2022: 12.30-13.15

Qualified as an OT since 2011, Shaun brings a wealth of clinical knowledge to Theraposture and its clients. Before joining the beds, chairs and cots specialist, Shaun was responsible for delivering community-based re-enablement in the public sector. Local authorities and residents in Hampshire, Berkshire and Dorset all benefitted from his diligent and proactive approach to occupational improvement.

Shaun has expertise in moving and handling in both adult and paediatric sectors so is ideally qualified for a trusted assessor role. He now leads the educational programme for Theraposture, supporting healthcare professionals across the UK with online and face-to-face CPD.

In early 2022, Theraposture announced unlimited free moves for newly purchased care cots and beds as part of an initiative to support therapists and budget holders. Should these specialist beds need to be moved to and from equipment users’ homes and stores, there will be no cost; Therpaosture will do this for free.
