Single-handed care
The research practice partnerships have produced short evidence briefings in response to questions raised by partner agencies
Single-handed care
Key messages:
- There is limited evidence from research and lived experience as to the effectiveness or best approaches to single handed care.
- There is some evidence that, to be successful, single-handed care requires engagement with all parties such as care providers, families and carers, and training opportunities for staff and assessors to build confidence in techniques and equipment.
Reflective questions:
- Are there people you support who would be suitable and benefit from single-handed care initiatives?
- Is there training available to build confidence with equipment and technology that enables you and your colleagues to better support people?
