International SPHM Awareness: 2022Promoting staff & patient safety

It's time to reduce injuries in the healthcare industry

Welcome to the International SPHM Awareness website. For too long now we continue to see healthcare workers injured when moving and handling their patients/residents. It is time to send the message that this is NOT OK.

This website is full of free information and downloads to help you spread the word to colleagues, managers, executives, patients and their families, lawmakers, and the media using the terminology and language of your own country.

Join us in making sure everyone knows how important our message is whatever country you work in.
