Ceiling hoist systems are designed to offer safe, convenient and comfortable transfer procedures for end users and caregivers alike. Join us for this Ceiling Hoist Masterclass where we’ll transform your understanding of person transfers.
Discover why ceiling hoists offer an unparalleled level of convenience. The lack of required floor space and necessity to physically move a floor hoist leads to fewer risks of trips, falls and musculoskeletal injuries for carers within a home and all care environments. Beyond these benefits, they offer a less conspicuous and intimidating transfer alternative to Mobile Floor Hoists, transforming transfer experiences for your client.
Step into the heart of hygiene with this interactive, hands-on workshop, where we’ll explore the extensive product range and customisation of JUVOcare mobile shower commodes and bathroom options.
Understanding the unique challenges and risks that are related to hygiene activities and the bathroom environment is critical to the effective prescription of Mobile Shower Commodes (MSC) and Bathroom solutions.
This seminar will guide you through assessment, prescription, fitting and adjustment of the JUVOcare commode range.
