| Risk Assessment Consultancy – “going well” Our senior training adviser (Janet Hunt) has had fantastic results from the Risk Assessments carried out, the most recent being at Mandeville School in Ealing. A brief description of the service is that Janet (who has more than 30 years experience working with children with |
profound learning difficulties) directly assesses a childs’ needs with regard to equipment, moving & handling techniques and enablement issues, after which we provide a very comprehensive ‘Individual Pupil Assessment’ to the school. Christine Marks, Head Teacher commented “Janet has just spent 4 successful days with us, she was extremely helpful, informative and pragmatic” |
| New Training Adviser We are pleased to announce a new addition to our training staff in the form of Pam Sherliker. Pam comes to us with a distinguished background having been the Manual Handling Co Ordinator for a prominent NHS Trust in the |
North West. A former Chairperson of the North West National Back Exchange, Pam is well known and highly regarded in her field. Working closely with our senior training adviser Janet Hunt, Pam’s experience and background should prove useful for future course development. |
| Theatre Courses go from strength to strength On the back of our previous ‘Perioperative Manual Handling & Patient Positioning’ courses held last year we returned to the Hereford site to deliver another 3 day programme. The course |
was held over the weekend of 8th – 10th February 2008 and early indications show that this was a well received and most enjoyable event. More information can be found directly by clicking here. Due to the continued popularity of the course we may well inform you of future programmes via ‘Back Issues’ |

| The first ever national moving & handling Key Trainer award Centaur Training has awarded Anne - Marie Shaw the Centaur national Moving and Handling Key Trainer of the year award. Anne – Marie who is the moving and handling training co ordinator for CLS Care Services received her award in recognition of her outstanding contribution in the field of moving and handling. The award took place at the Fir Grove Hotel, Warrington and was the biggest CLS wards event ever. CLS Care has over 50 nursing & residential homes and is due to open a number of ‘care villages’ over the next 5 years. Anne – Marie was initially trained by Centaur way back in 1997 and has since gone onto co ordinate one of the largest Moving and Handling Key Trainer teams in the country, |
all of whom were Centaur trained. “The award came as such a surprise I was almost speechless” said a modest Anne – Marie.
