Single patient use slings and slide sheets

November 4, 2019

Single patient use slings and slide sheets are now available.

The new equipment is now part of the Trust’s moving and handling mandatory training programme.

All areas must start ordering this new equipment. Any remaining washable slings or slide sheets should be placed in laundry where they will be kept and removed from use.

Some clinical areas are materially managed and will automatically have slings and slides sheets ordered through top up.

If your area is not materially managed and you need more information on how to order your slide sheet please contact the procurement office on ext. 4938.

The training team from the suppliers will be visiting clinical areas to provide training over the next two weeks with support from the moving and handling team.

Be sure to check out the video for more information.
