Hello, New here just joined to see if anyone could help!
Ive only just started my NVQ2 and some of the wording is very confusing!

Would just like to know if anyone could help me with this question!

Q) Describe what is meant by; Manual Handling - is the injury to you or the patient worth the risk!

Thanks ZoeMariex
