  By now we have all performed transfers, whether it be from bed to chair/wheelchair or vice versa, chair to chair, wheelchair to toilet, etc. Although we have performed them it is sometimes a good idea to reflect back and look at the mechanics of a transfer to make sure we continue to do them correctly so injuries do not occur to ourselves or patient. Often times we get caught up in our daily work we can forget the proper techniques we were taught, especially if it were years ago.
  
  The following website provides step-by-step instructions for transferring an individual from a bed to a wheelchair, but some of these steps can also be taken into consideration during different types of transfers, as mentioned above. This site breaks the transfer down into a few categories: preparation, getting a patient ready to transfer, and pivot turn. In each category, the steps are described in detail in order for the reader to get the full picture of how the action should take place.
  
  Additional names for this transfer are as follows: pivot turn, transfer from bed to wheelchair pivot turn and transfer from bed to wheelchair.
