Bariatric Patient Handling Webinar

Adapting to the diversity of bariatric body types is essential in delivering personalised care that ensures the patient's safety, dignity, and optimal functionality.

Each human body is unique in size, dimensions, and weight. This is no different for clients who are assessed with obesity.

Implementing a one-size-fits-all approach to bariatric assistive technology will fail to achieve outcomes such as comfort, reduced risk of adverse events, and encouragement to maximise independence.

In this webinar, we will look at:

• The main somatotypes of the bariatric client's body,
• The individual movement and positioning needs of each body type,
• The implications for the provision of assistive technology.

By the end of the webinar, you will have a more holistic view of the bariatric client, enabling you to make informed decisions with successful outcomes to improve your quality of life and quality of care.
