"The principles of safe moving and handling are based on the training of Efficient Movement Principles"
WENDY HAWKINS
Occupational Therapy BSc(hons)
Registered with RCOT, HCPC, BABICM
I am an experienced Occupational Therapist, Brain Injury Case Manager and Manual Handling Trainer.
I have many years experience working in the NHS, Social Care and the private sector.
​
​My company 'One Step Professionals' offers manual handling training for teams supporting clients. My passion is my job and I strive to deliver a professional service for support workers to enable them to deliver a safe and high quality care service to the patient in full compliance with CQC legislation.
​
I am of the firm belief people should be supported to maximise their independence in purposeful and meaningful activity in line with my Occupational Therapy background. Accessing different areas of their home safely is an essential part of maximising independence for the client but needs to be completed in a safe manner for both client, support worker or therapist.
One Step Professionals covers the whole of Essex, Kent, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, Norfolk as well as other areas upon request.
