Kay James Q &A at Rise Virtual Conference answering questions about the videos above
RISE4Disability Conference and Exhibition 10th September 2024
Kay James and Jane Dolphin will be providing a FREE 1 hour practical workshop at 10am.
We will tackle the tricky situation when someone is struggling to stand with equipment but is not keen to be hoisted. We will use a risk assessment approach to look at what equipment options are available to try to maintain standing for as long as possible and what options are available if someone does not feel ready to be hoisted. Personalised care is key.
Come and join us in Sandwich, Kent!
