GM OVING AND HANDLING G UIDANCE – LATERAL TRANSFER uidance – Lateral Transfer using rigid transfer board & sliding sheets

Within this guidance document you will find advice on how to laterally transfer a supine patient using a rigid transfer board with sliding sheets. This guidance provides one method to undertake this activity; it is not the only method available. For further assistance or alternative methods contact the Moving and Handling Team.



Preparation



To fit transfer board and sliding sheets









Remember, if the patient is able, they should be encouraged to do as much of this for themselves as possible.

In some environments it is not possible to have a gap between two surfaces, therefore, another member of staff will be required. In this case, two staff members should be positioned with one at the head and the other at the foot of the bed / trolley. They will together pass the sheet to the other two staff and when ready insert the transfer board and sliding sheets under the patient
