Hi Everyone,
I was wondering if anyone has come across / used the Q2 Roller (or similar) for patient turning, repositioning, personal care needs ? I had never come across it until a week or so ago when a patient was transferred to the ward I am on. The patient has a flair up of a very painful skin condition which makes manual handling and personal care incredibly difficult and uncomfortable for him and those caring for him. The manual handling team at the hospital were contacted and came up with the Q2 as an option and it has worked wonders, he has been so much more comfortable when his care needs are being met than before. It would be great to hear of any one else's experiences using this either in the community or hospital and how it has helped or hindered. Or alternatives you may have come across for similar situations. Heres a video of how it works for anyone that is interested:
