Hospitals & Nursing

The drive to provide outstanding care is why you became a healthcare professional in the first place. Maintaining the dignity of your patients is important, as is maintaining your own health and wellbeing when carrying out your duties.

The healthcare sector has a high percentage of workplace injury caused by poor lifting and handling practices and so teams are increasingly looking at ways to train for safer patient handling.

Our range of health and care manikins have been designed specifically for the demands of your manual handling training. The manikins below are our recommendations for manikins used in Hospitals and Care Homes based upon 30 years of experience supplying dummies to NHS and Private Hospitals, Care Homes and Hospices worldwide.

Whether you require a dummy for manual handling assessment, learning to use specific lifting equipment or essential fire safety training such as casualty evacuation, for the fulfilment of your Personal Emergency Evacuation Plans (PEEPs) we have the model for you.

Our manikins come in all shapes and sizes – from a 5kg baby, all the way up to a 260kg bariatric adult, letting you learn essential skills for your job, whilst avoiding personal injury through poor lifting.
