there are many different training opportunity to keep myself up to date with, I.e Infection prevention control, which in a hospital environment is extremely important to help prevent the risk off infection to both us as staff and the patients we provide care too. there are also standards we have to follow, for example we have to wear PPE(Personal protective equipment) we have to use gloves with every patient that we feel we may be dealing with any body fluids or anything we feel we as staff members may be at risk with, we also have to wear both gloves and aprons if we have to go into a side room if a patient is being barrier nursed(e.g if they have MRSA, VRE, GRE, C-DIFF etc) so we

The individual and carers will not experience pains and discomfort. | 1.2 Describe the impact of specific conditions on the correct movement and positioning of an individual (Planned: 0 , Completed:0) Before moving an individual you must always consider if they have any specific condition that will acquire different moving and handling techniques. For example if an individual has suffered from a stroke they may have paralyses down one side of there body which will mean there muscles and limbs will be tight. The individual may need assistance to move parts of there body that are paralysed. Great care and training will be required for this.
Unit 56. 1.1 When moving and positioning service users it is important to make sure they are not moved more than their body is capable of as muscles can only move bones at the joint as far as the joint allows. It’s also important to move and handle correctly to ensure their nerves are not damaged as they are delicate and send impulses in the body which enable muscles to relax and contract. 1.2 If you have people with arthritis often have stiff, painful joints which means their joints have limited movement, which means it is important to not move them beyond these limits and be careful when moving and positioning the service user which when done correctly will prevent as much and pain and discomfort as possible. People with Parkinson’s disease can have rigid limbs that affect normal moving, so it is important to not force movement in the affected limb as it can cause pain and damage to the joints.

If the Mrs D has full capacity to make her own choices and knows what she is doing all we can do is implement her care plan which cover this. A care plan is a document that the carer fills out on each shift about the indiviual. it also tells you their day to day requirements i.e personal care, dietary requirements. It also tells you a bit about their history about the individual. It is also important to monitor the changes in needs and preferances of the person as family and relationships could change or health needs such as mobility,diet, personal hygiene.
It is the responsibility of every staff member to ensure that health and safety procedures are followed. This will help minimise the risk of accident or injury to both staff and residents as well as visitors to the home. However, the supply of relevant equipment and training lies with the company. Every employer must ensure that employees are provided with induction training. A lack of appropriate training could result in injury or harm.
