Managing manual handling in clinical situations.
The extent to which nurse managers at site level are now responsible for the development and management of systems of work designed to reduce the risk to nurses from patient handling is not always clear. This paper, and a second due to appear next month, will draw attention to the practical implications of the regulations and how they affect the management roles of nurse managers at site level. Their interpretation does, however, depend on an understanding of its legal status and thus its historical and political links.
