Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust commented ‘We would like to express our sincere thanks to the Charles Reynolds Foundation for funding Roberta Grosso and Rebecca Stewart of the Manual Handling Advisory Service, Buckinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust to attend the National Back Exchange Annual Conference 2026.

The conference was an invaluable opportunity to learn from leading professionals, explore new moving and handling equipment, share experiences and discover innovative approaches to safer patient handling. Whilst networking with others in the field of Moving and Handling provided fresh perspectives and ideas that we can bring back to our organisation.

We particularly valued the practical demonstrations and opportunities to discuss equipment directly with manufacturers. The knowledge and resources gained will enhance our training, risk assessment advice and support to colleagues.

We returned inspired, motivated and better equipped to share our learning and improve practice.

Thank you for investing in our professional development and the wider benefits it brings to our service’.
