4. Approaching the Patient with the Hoyer Up
The following guidance applies no matter what the surface you are transferring from, whether it
be a chair, wheelchair, bed, toilet or commode.
ALWAYS carry out a full and thorough risk assessment prior to using the Up.
Maintain a dialogue with the patient, ensuring they understand what is happening and they are
comfortable and at ease.
If a sling has been deemed necessary as part of the risk assessment, ensure you have the
appropriate, compatible style and size.
Rotate the swing-away seat pads into the open position to allow patient access.
To gain improved access around large chairs and bulky commodes, open the legs of the Up
before approaching the patient.
