The physios and gym staff at St Andrews had a visit from a North Yorkshire Police Personal Safety Trainer today. Under his expert guidance they learned first hand how officers are trained to safely do holds, restraints and takedowns, including the correct use of handcuffs.
This will be invaluable when treating patients with injuries they might have gained when applying these skills. This is part of an annual refresher which wiil also give our staff updates on the latest fitness tests, equipment and techniques.
If you look closely you will see that they even enjoyed themselves, although things got just a little bit scary when the instructor did his best shouting of "Get down on the floor"!
