Statement of Need: Musculoskeletal injuries plague rehabilitation professionals due to frequent manual patient handling, hindering both staff well-being and patient care. This Safe Patient Handling and Mobility (SPHM) conference addresses this critical need by empowering rehab professionals with evidence-based knowledge, practical skills, and collaborative networking opportunities. Through lectures, workshops, and demonstrations, we'll tackle the unique challenges of diverse patient populations and limited resources, fostering a culture of safety and optimizing patient recovery trajectories. Addressing the Need for a SPHM Conference in Rehabilitation:
- Knowledge dissemination: This conference will bridge the gap between research and practice by providing rehabilitation professionals with up-to-date evidence-based knowledge on SPHM principles and best practices.
- Hands-on training: Practical workshops and demonstrations will equip participants with skills and techniques for safe patient handling in various rehabilitation settings.
- Collaboration and innovation: The conference will foster collaboration and knowledge exchange among different disciplines involved in rehabilitation, leading to innovative solutions for addressing patient handling challenges.
- Promoting a culture of safety: By highlighting the importance of SPHM and its benefits for both patients and staff, the conference will contribute to creating a culture of safety within rehabilitation facilities
