We now have a new mobile hoist
A big thank you to the The Hospital Saturday Fund, for a grant to purchase this invaluable equipment.
More than 75% of people with MS have problems with balance, and falls are highly prevalent.
It is estimated that 56% fall at least once in a 3 month period. Injuries are common if manual lifting and handling is attempted.
The mobile hoist can transfer people from one place/position to another; it will enable us to move members with limited mobility without putting unnecessary strain on them and reduce the risk of an injury to the lowest level possible.
