Hi Jessica!
Nice to see you in the Open Forum. Congratulations on passing your exam!! That is great news!
The VA has a robust program/campaign in safe patient handling. There is a great public-facing site that is loaded with tons of resources- PowerPoints, flyers, guidelines etc.
I hope you find this helpful!
Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) - Public Health (va.gov)Hope you have healthy and safe 4th of July!

Hi,
Wondering if anyone has a procedure they would share on safe patient handling with transferring patients and ergonomics for medical staff?
Thanks so much!
