Moving and Handling
The Hidden Cost of Manual Transfers (And How to Stop It)
Protect Your Staff, Ensure CQC Compliance, and Lower Your Total Cost of Ownership
Manual handling is a critical operational risk that drains budgets and bottlenecks wards.
- Staff Risk: 543,000 workers reported work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) last year.
- Operational Impact: 300,000 people suffer from back pain annually due to handling accidents, driving staff shortages.
- Legal Mandate: CQC-registered providers must demonstrate safe, automated patient transfer protocols.
DDC helps care providers reduce that risk with moving and handling solutions that are practical, compliant and built for day-to-day use in real clinical environments.
