Join us at the National Back Exchange
Posicare by Seating Matters is delighted to be a platinum sponsor at this year’s National Back Exchange Conference, as part of the wider Tierco Healthcare Group. Our partners at A1 Momentum have two sessions designed to challenge established practice and provide practical guidance for complex moving-and-handling situations.
We look forward to meeting fellow moving and handling professionals, sharing ideas, and continuing the conversation around 24 hour postural care. We'll be exhibiting alongside A1 Momentum and Seating Matters at Stand 40.
During the event, we'll be showcasing the Horizon Hydro Shower Trolley, our bariatric range, and the Crest, alongside Seating Matters therapeutic seating range.
Make sure you add both A1 Momentum sessions to your conference schedule!
Historical Practices: Are We Implementing Avoidable Harm?
Norma Findlay, Head of Clinical Operations at A1 Momentum
📅 15 September
🕥 10:45 to 11:15
📍 Plenary Session
In this thought-provoking plenary, Norma will explore how long-established moving and handling practices can sometimes continue without sufficient challenge, even when they may restrict independence, increase risk or contribute to avoidable harm.
Delegates will be encouraged to reflect on professional responsibility, question routine practice and consider how more proportionate, person-centred approaches can improve outcomes.
Managing Complex and Diverse Moving and Handling Situations
Kat Stafford and Kirsty Ryan, Clinical Advisors and Occupational Therapists
📅 14 September
🕥 14:00 - 15:00
📍 Workshop
This practical workshop will explore strategies for managing complex moving and handling situations involving conditions such as dementia, paratonia and spasticity.
Using real-life case studies, Kat and Kirsty will examine how changes in tone, movement, cognition and behaviour can affect handling practices. Delegates will leave with practical insights to support safer, more effective and person-centred care in challenging clinical scenarios.
