Training & Education
Moving plus-size patients safely and with dignity takes more than just equipment – it requires confidence, skill, and the ability to adapt in real time. At Jeenie Solutions, we don’t just carry out these moves – we teach them. Our team delivers specialist training that reflects the real challenges faced in hospitals, homes, and emergency scenarios. What sets us apart is our unique Simulation Centre of Excellence: a fully equipped space featuring confined bedrooms, stairs, bathrooms, and a hospital ward layout. This immersive environment gives professionals the chance to practise realistic scenarios using the very equipment we rely on daily. We run a variety of educational events designed to upskill carers, clinicians, and manual handling teams – for more details, see below:
Advanced Manual Handling Workshop – Real-World Complex Care Scenarios
Handling patients in confined spaces comes with unique challenges—navigating narrow doorways, managing bathroom falls, working in tight bedrooms, and ensuring safe bed-to-chair transfers. These are high-risk scenarios that demand precision, skill, and the confidence to adapt.
Our advanced study/workshop day is designed to push the boundaries of manual handling, giving you the freedom to test, refine, and enhance techniques in a fully simulated environment. Using weighted mannequins, you’ll explore methods in a hands-on, controlled setting, working alongside me—bringing 18 years of experience across NHS trusts and insight into equipment capability and product design.
Join as a Team or Individually:
✅ Bring your team (2–15 members) for a fully tailored session
✅ Join an industry-wide open course to collaborate with others
✅ Work through your real-world challenges in a safe, practical space
Whether you want to problem-solve existing issues, test new equipment, or refine your techniques, these sessions will elevate your skills and service levels.

Bespoke Training or Problem-Solving Workshop
Real Environments. Real Scenarios. Tailored to You.
Not every training need fits neatly into a course structure. Sometimes what’s really needed is time, space, and the right setting to think through a complex problem, practise in private, or develop a skillset that’s hard to build on a ward or in someone’s home. That’s exactly what we offer.
At Jeenie, we open our simulation centre to those who need something more personalised. Whether you’re part of a moving and handling team, a community care provider, social worker, trainer, or equipment supplier – we can create a practical session around your needs. You’ll have full access to our range of confined-space environments, including:
-
A standard home bedroom
(with furniture) -
A fully fitted bathroom (including bath & toilet)
-
Staircases inside and outside with turn points
-
A hospital-style ward space
We provide a wide range of equipment, including hoists, slide systems, specialist beds, and bariatric aids – with bariatric mannequins and Dignity suits available to bring the session to life.
You can work with your own team, or we can support you with expert guidance to help problem-solve, improve confidence, or generate solutions that reduce risk and improve patient outcomes.
Whether you want to test a new product, trial a new patient setup, practise a complex discharge, or simply develop practical confidence in a controlled environment – this is your space to do it. We provide the setting. You bring the challenge.
To build your own bespoke session or request a quote, please contact info@jeenie.uk – we’ll be happy to help.
