Seminar: Becoming confident in prescribing cot beds for better sleep hygiene, client care and moving and handling

21st March, 10:30am, Seminar Room 2

Synopsis: The seminar will explore the difficulties faced with prescribing paediatric sleeping solutions. It will explore the wider implications on health and day-to-day function whilst examining our nature to care for others. Topics will also highlight future proofing for a child’s needs as they progress, become older, heavier and stronger and how this has an impact on the parents/carers abilities. Parents still want to hold, lift and nurture their child, but is this sustainable when looking at safe moving and handling?

Learning outcomes:

• Have a greater understanding of the wider implication on achieving good sleep hygiene
• Prescribe the most appropriate cot bed for your client

About the speaker: Shaun Masters is a registered OT with over 15 years of public sector experience. He specialises in community-based re-enablement and has particular expertise in moving and handling – both in adult and paediatric sectors.

Shaun will be available throughout the exhibition on the Theraposture stand, F1, for further questions and to discuss client cot needs on a one-to-one basis.
