How can we help you?

Under health and safety regulations, Gateshead Health is obliged to ensure that all colleagues are undertaking work in a planned and safe way, minimising risk as much as possible. Some of the ways our Clinical Ergonomics team help the organisation to do this can include:

• Job analysis
• Work posture monitoring
• Measurement
• Design
• Education
• Rehabilitation

Additionally, the team also works with risk managers across Gateshead Health, regularly visiting different areas across the organisation to observe staff at work and implement positive changes in line with the risk assessment process.
