The Scottish Manual Handling Forum was formed in November 2000. It meets annually in venues around Scotland. It evolved from a gradual amalgamation of two previous groups; the central Scotland group of the National Back Exchange and the Lanarkshire Moving and Handling Advisor Network. It comprises moving and handling professionals from the NHS, local authorities, education sector and the private sector. In June 2006 the Forum voted unanimously to progress towards becoming an affiliated group of the National Back Exchange. Website Facebook Twitter
