Patient was obese and due to her illness had a grossly extended abdomen. Individual (staff) factors - Porters lack of awareness of what equipment to use for a safe lateral transfer Communication factors - Lack of appropriate communication re deceased patient was bariatric. Task / technology factors Equipment and Education issues Work environment factors - Pat-slide and glide sheet were not always available. Equipment - Concealment trolley was not in full working order. Pat-slide and glide sheet should have been available Education and training Training sessions have been put in place for Cofely porters. See action plan Organisational factors Moving and Handling procedures for deceased bariatric patients have been revised. See action plan. Key issues Poor communication between the ward staff and portering supervisor that the deceased was bariatric and may have required different equipment and more staff to transfer safely. Porters were not using correct techniques for safe lateral transfer. Porters did not use appropriate equipment, glide sheet and pat-slide. Concealment trolley was in a state of disrepair. Consequences for the family. Lessons learned Manual handling guidelines for bariatric patients were not followed as per current guidelines. Manual handling guidelines for carrying out lateral transfer were not followed. Communication between ward/dept staff and portering supervisor whether there are any manual handling issues in particular with weight, shape and position has room for improvement. Robust and consistent information is required in both NHS Lothian s guidelines and Cofely s Guidelines. Understand the consequences for family and all the staff involved in the incident. More education is required in particular around manual handling procedures and necessary equipment required. Recommendations Moving and handling guidelines for deceased bariatric patients need revised and updated. Cofely s Procedure for the transfer of deceased patient needs revised and updated. Robust plan for implementation of updated guidelines and procedures. Concealment trolley replaced and a more suitable one sourced and used on a trial basis initially. Mortuary exploring alternative cooling facilities for bariatric patients. Education for porters on moving and handling procedures, mortuary services and bereavement service. Produced By: NHS Lothian Author: Page 2 of 6 Review Date/ Status:

Improvement plan Moving and Handling guidelines for deceased bariatric patients are currently being updated and will be submitted for approval at the next Clinical policy and documentation group on 29 th March Deceased Patient Procedure (Last Offices) updated re deceased bariatric patients. Revised guidelines and procedures must have a robust implementation plan to reach all staff. Alternative style of concealment trolley needs to be explored. Moving and handling, mortuary, bereavement service and porters to jointly source what is available and the plan is to trial some different styles of trolley. Education sessions currently being delivered to porters by Moving and Handling, mortuary services and bereavement service should be expanded to cover WGH and SJH sites.
