We agreed that a hoist should be available to lift the service user in times of slips and falls. We both realised we needed also to consider the ethical considerations of removing some independence from the client compared with maintaining her safety. We discussed the fact that she still walked to the lounge and that this posed little risk, there for could continue, therefore retaining some of her independence and mobility.
