The last few weeks have seen Backsafe travel Australia to deliver our Train the Trainer Program to various healthcare groups.
Starting from Sydney, to Brisbane and even up to Bundaberg – it has been a wonderful experience meeting so many dedicated health professionals who will now be able to train their own staff in general manual handling and patient moving. This idea of training trainers in their own environment allows staff to plan inhouse training while in their own facility which leads to better training outcomes.
Train the Trainer – A group of Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists in their own facility in Brisbane.
Train the Trainer – A group of community based carers and professionals in Bundaberg.
A couple of participants in our Train the Trainer public course in Sydney.
Each training was tailored to the different groups. The first to a group of carers working in the disability sector. The other sessions geared to individuals working with indigenous clients and allied health workers caring for patients with Alzheimer’s.
In all instances we delivered tailored information and activities to suit the work environment, the roles of the participants, their training experience and their organisational training objectives.
Each graduate of our Inhouse Train the Trainer program completes the course by developing a tailored Training Plan specific to their organisation and delivering a section of the Backsafe anual handling and patient moving program to the larger group under the watchful eye of the Backsafe Facilitators.
“This was by far the best training I have received about Manual Handling. The vast amount resources given is fantastic and the detailed training and coaching I cannot fault at all. I feel much more confident and understand the concepts to provide meaningful training to our valued employees. Thank you so much Jane and Peter!“
