This joint CPD session supports clinicians to apply a person-centred, strengths-based approach and build confidence in assessment and prescription.Presented by Kate Sheehan, an internationally recognised expert in restrictive practices, alongside Charlotte Walker, Medifab’s Product Trainer, this session will combine evidence-based clinical knowledge with practical application. Using high-sided beds as a core example, the session explores assessment for safe sleeping environments, balancing safety, dignity and autonomy. Learnings are transferable to other assistive technologies, including car seats, strollers, wheelchairs and indoor seating.Best-practice funding processes will also be covered, with practical guidance to avoid common pitfalls and reduce approval delays.Ideal for occupational therapists, physiotherapists and behaviour support practitioners seeking to strengthen clinical reasoning and confidently navigate restrictive practiceWhat to expect:Exploring restrictive practice - Clinicians will be supported to reframe their perspectives on restrictive practice, and how to align use of restrictive practices with local frameworks and legislation to ensure they are used ethically.High sided bed assessment considerations - Learn about what information is required for a comprehensive high sided bed assessment to balance safety, dignity and autonomy.
