Hi. I work in a private hospital facility that has recently changed the policy term ‘Transfer belt’ to ‘Gait Belt’. This change has been part of the organisational culture shift toward making sure staff are aware they are not to be used for lifting residents. Our transfer belts are issued to individuals and laundered as needed.
