Handcuff Instructor Course Delivered at Royal Oldham Hospital with Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust
On Friday 25th April 2025, UK Patient Care successfully delivered a comprehensive Handcuff Instructor Course with Pennine Care NHS Foundation Trust. The course took place at the Royal Oldham Hospital, providing instructors with essential knowledge and practical skills in the safe and lawful use of handcuffs in healthcare environments.

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.

What Is the Handcuff Instructor Course?

Our Handcuff Instructor Course is a specialist programme designed for healthcare and mental health professionals who need to:

  • Understand the legal framework for restraint and handcuff use
  • Apply safe and proportionate techniques in real-life scenarios
  • Cascade training across teams as qualified handcuff instructors

This course is especially valuable for NHS Trusts and care organisations working in mental health, secure units, A&E, and community services where patient safety and staff protection are critical.
