Hoists

I'm sent on a Moving & Handling patients course by work to make sure I'm up to date with legislation, technique and equipment. Luckily I'm chosen to be the guinea pig to sit IN the hoist while being swung around. I also get to lie on the trolley bed to be rolled and moved by slide sheets. A few moments more and I could have dropped off to sleep.
