The RP Hawkins Group is a consultant company which focuses on injury prevention to health care employees. We specialize in the implementation of Safe Patient Handling programs into hospital settings. When considering an injury prevention program such as Safe Patient Handling, it is important to understand the unique dynamics involved in transitioning mechanical patient-lifts into patient care settings. With over 18 years of nursing experience while having worked in a variety of hospital settings, my value as a consultant consists of an ability to transition patient-lift innovations into patient-care settings while progressing its use into an acceptable standard of clinical practice amongst nursing professionals.
