“What is PMVA Training and Do You Deliver PMVA Trainer Training?”
These are questions I constantly get asked.
So, what does PMVA mean?
PMVA stands for the ‘Prevention and Management of Violence and Aggression’.
Which is basically a healthcare term for Physical Restraint (also known as Physical Intervention, Control and Restraint, Positive Handling, MVA, etc., etc.).
It is primarily used to prevent a service user or patient harming themselves or others.
PMVA training is not a qualification or an endorsed or recognised standard of any kind.
It is just a healthcare term for Physical Restraint Training.
That’s it.
Our BTEC Level 3 Restraint Instructor Award Course is a PMVA Trainer Course – https://nfps.info/physical-intervention-trainer-course/
And many healthcare organisations already use our training to train their PMVA trainers.
This is because our course comes with a BTEC Level 3 qualification.
If you’d like to know more you can view our course here – https://nfps.info/physical-intervention-trainer-course/ (and there is a video on our course webpage about all of the difference names and what they mean).
Or simply drop me an email and we can arrange to have a chat over the phone to clarify any further questions you may have.
