PMVA Training Courses
Course aim
PMVA training courses (prevention and management of violence and aggression) provide a tool kit for healthcare professionals to manage behaviour that challenges. The training is divided into three levels dependent on the needs of the participants. All our courses focus on prevention and using the least level of intervention possible. PMVA provides a range of physical skills including breakaway, low level safe holding and secure safe holding.
Please note we do not offer training to individuals only to groups within organisations.
Dependent on Course
Healthcare professionals who work in private and public sector. BC training is a recognised model in hospitals that provide NHS care and forensic units. Any employees who are at risk from aggression and violence from the people they care for will benefit from PMVA training.
Please note we do not offer training for individuals only groups within organisations.
