MyPhysio FiCoMo Specialist Centre conducted the FiCoMo Caregiver Education Training (Level 1) on the 9th of December 2015 successfully. The aim of this training was to educate nurses and caregivers on basic proper movement care in transferring & helping patient for daily activities and to provide hands-on practical demonstration for carers to apply proper movement care in daily activities.
Nurses and family care givers attended the training. It was very encouraging to have participants come from as far as Melaka for this 1 day community service training event. The training started around 9.30am with a brief explanation of the FiCoMo concept by Ms. Lim Yi Lin (consultant physiotherapy at MyPhysio FiCoMo). FiCoMo stands for “Five Cores for Movement”, meaning we focus on 5 major cores of our body to be strong in a stabilization function in order to achieve the optimal network of system to move healthily.
After the short session with Ms.Lim, I started our training. We did a lot of demonstration and practical session practicing with each other on transfer techniques , proper handling skills and proper movement care principles for both patient & care giver. We adjusted and modified the techniques according to the patient’s need & environment based on the FiCoMo concept. At the end of the training, there was practical examination for the nurses. They did their best during practical examination. The training ended around 3.30pm.
On a personal note, this was my first time conducting a full day training. Although a little nervous throughout the training, I was very happy and excited in having the opportunity to share my knowledge and help others. I also received new information and input from the participants’ feedback that was very useful and beneficial for me. This training also increased my confidence in my communication with others. All the participants are very committed to learn the proper movement care. They asked a lot of questions and they really wanted to do their best in taking care of their patients/family member. They were all very friendly and that helped us all enjoy the session while learning together.
We will be conducting another course soon this year. I hope that these free FiCoMo community service programme will benefit more people in future.
