Beyond manual handling training - development of 24 hour postural care passport for support workers

Chronic poor posture can lead to serious health issues like body shape changes, respiratory and digestive problems, skin breakdown, and pain. To address this, the National Postural Care Strategy Group in Scotland was formed in 2018 to implement the "Your Posture Matters" strategy and promote collaboration across health and social care. Their work highlights the importance of 24-hour postural management in preventing complications, especially for people with conditions like cerebral palsy. The session will showcase a partnership with Capability Scotland, which developed a postural care policy and training program for support workers to improve outcomes and prevent secondary issues such as pressure injuries and contractures.
