Supported Lying & Positioning: Foundations to Practice

Join us for a half-day educational workshop exploring the role of Supported Lying and Positioning (SLP) in community-based postural care. This session is designed for clinicians who are new to SLP, as well as those seeking to refresh or consolidate their knowledge of the SLP range. The workshop combines theory and hands-on practice to build confidence in assessing and trialing SLP with clients in the community.

The workshop is delivered in two complementary parts:

Part 1: Foundations of Supported Lying & Positioning

This session focusses on building core knowledge and clinical reasoning, including:

Why Supported Lying & Positioning matters, who it is for, and what it involves
Assessment processes to inform community-based SLP
Real-world considerations for implementing SLP in the community

Part 2: SLP Range & Practical Application

The second part of the workshop is practical and interactive, and includes:

An overview of the Supported Lying & Positioning product range including Sleepshape, Snooooooze and Simple Stuff Works.
Guided hands-on application and equipment set-up opportunities
Case-based discussion and shared problem-solving to support clinical reasoning

This workshop aims to equip clinicians with the skills and confidence to consider, trial, and implement Supported Lying & Positioning with clients living in the community.
