Back safety program for paramedics
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new ergonomic training program designed to help paramedics lift and move patients more safely, aiming to reduce back injuries on the job.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must work as a frontline emergency medical technician or paramedic.
- You must be actively involved in lifting and moving patients.
- You cannot have a job that is only administrative (no patient contact).
- You cannot be a student or trainee who hasn't started clinical work.
