Clinical Holding Guide
Evidence-based Holding for Clinical Procedures
This project was originally developed by Birmingham City University and Birmingham Women’s and Children’s Hospital (in 2011) to demonstrate holding techniques for infants, children and young people. However, the latest adaptation means that the content is now applicable to individuals across the age span.
