Our course is designed to equip participants with the necessary skills and knowledge to provide effective security services within healthcare settings. The course focuses on understanding the unique challenges and requirements of security in healthcare environments, emphasizing the importance of balancing safety and patient care. Participants will learn about relevant regulations, communication techniques, conflict resolution strategies, and emergency response procedures specific to healthcare security.
Physical intervention is a last-resort option, that without proper training and experience with care never be attempted. It involves using techniques that are proven to be effective and cause as little harm to the individual as possible.
Our training course has been developed as a “bolt-on” module for those regulated by the SIA and working within healthcare settings. The physical intervention bolt-on course will cover the use of specialised primary, secondary and tertiary interventions, and responses to prevent harm or manage aggression in critical situations within a healthcare setting.
If you use the correct techniques, physical intervention can be done safely. This course has been designed to maintain control while minimising injury risks to all parties involved.
Example interventions include de-escalation strategies, restraint techniques, or guiding individuals with voluntary compliance. The goal will always be to deescalate the situation without needing to intervene physically, but knowing when physical intervention is needed is an important part of an individual’s care.
Proper training is crucial for physical intervention techniques to ensure their safe and effective implementation. We provide comprehensive training programs that encompass theory knowledge as well as practical skills development related to assessing risk factors for aggression escalation and identifying appropriate interventions accordingly.
Various training programs are available to enhance skills specifically for SIA regulated professionals working within healthcare settings. These programs include topics such as:
