Handling safety for patients with inflammatory arthritis.
Moving and handling in the healthcare setting is heavily focused on the safety of healthcare workers and the importance of ensuring training in techniques is up to date. However, careful risk assessment should focus on reduction of injury to patients as much as to healthcare workers. Patients with inflammatory arthritis can be particularly challenging due to the condition and its symptoms.
