Leading the Way in Handcuff Training for Healthcare Professionals

Delivered by Experts with 50+ Years of Combined Experience
The course was led by Andy Heald and Duncan Coulson, two of our senior instructors and former Police Officers with over 50 years of combined handcuffing experience. Their extensive background in law enforcement and healthcare-related training brought a wealth of insight to the session, ensuring that all participants received instruction of the highest calibre.
