Moving and Handling

Here you will find a range of learning resources, some with associated self assessments, designed to support teaching within the faculty.

Links highlighted in yellow are to relevant external (outside of the university) resources. Please note that we have no control of these resources and they may dissapear at any time! If you find any of these particularly useful it would be worth contacting the authors to negotiate long term access.

Important - external resources: the way some skills are demonstrated in the tutorials may be different to how you are expected to perform them in clinical skills sessions and your OSCE's.
