This standard operating procedure sets out the process by which clinicians working within Integrated Community Services are able to utilise a seated lifting device (e.g. Mangar Elk or Camel) to support patients who have fallen in their home environment. This will prevent long lies and use of emergency ambulance personnel for retrieval only. The aim of this procedure is to support clinicians to: • Understand the purpose and use of the device • Ensure the response using the device is appropriate. • Ensure clinical documentation is properly completed.
