The objective of the seminar is to increase understanding of both dependent and independent user needs. Appropriate layout and product solutions are suggested for a variety of applications with consideration given to Part M, BS8300:2009 – including changing places facilities. The seminar examines spatial requirements for using the toilet, basin and shower individually; and as integrated functions within a well-designed room.

This seminar provides information on what an overhead ceiling hoist is, why clients choose ceiling hoists, and who uses ceiling hoists. It also covers the patient interface: most relevant cassette types, best practice track solutions and layouts, and installation methods. A case study demonstrates how these principles can be put into practice.
