Webinar: Bathroom Assistive Technology in Practice

Bathrooms are one of the most challenging environments our clients navigate every day – and often where confidence, safety and independence are first impacted. This webinar is designed for therapists who want greater confidence translating assessment findings into the right bathroom assistive technology for each client.

This one-hour webinar will cover AT for toileting, showering and bathing and will strengthen your clinical reasoning around why one option may be more appropriate than another.

The participant will be able to:

• Assess toileting, showering, and bathing tasks with a clear function and safety focus

• Apply key clinical considerations including mobility, pressure injury risk assessment and management, balance, endurance, postural support, continence, and carer involvement

• Identify physical and environmental factors influencing bathroom AT prescription

• Differentiate between similar bathroom aids and make confident, clinically-justified prescription decisions

• Recognise contraindications and red flags where equipment may increase risk for a user and/or their supports

• Understand when equipment can be appropriately trialled in a showroom environment versus when an in-home trial is functionally/clinically essential
