REGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT HAS NOW CLOSED; THANKS FOR YOUR INTEREST
Budgets for delivering care packages are under scrutiny, and with the demographic of an increasingly ageing population, the future is going to be determined by our choices today.
At Wealden Rehab, we believe that care packages can be rationalised and justified by the consideration of three key areas:
- The risk profile of the patient
- The environment to work within
- The equipment available
This event is designed to empower those working with these challenges to make decisions on care packages which will continue to deliver at the very highest level, whilst reducing the overall cost to the budget.
Who is this event for?
Wealdex London is aimed at Occupational therapists, Loan Store Managers, Commissioners and Therapy lead personnel, primarily from London
Speakers
In an exciting line-up, we will have presentations from the following speakers, who can broaden our outlook on this increasingly common topic;
Deborah Harrison – Specialises in manual handling and single handed care, advising to social care, NHS, education and case management sectors
Julia Love – Member of National Back Exchange and advanced advisor in undertaking complex risk assessments
Melanie Sturman - a RGN with over 15 years’ experience in moving and handling
