What are the two forms of documentation required for the use of bed rails?

1. Documentation that the resident was offered the option of bedrails upon admission, if newly admitted, or to others on request. 2. Documentation that the resident was informed of the alternatives to, and the risks involved with, using bed rails.

Under what regulations are bed rails?

If you are a care operator who uses bed rails, you must adhere to the bed rail regulations set out by the Medicines Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) to ensure you are managing and using bed rails safely.

How often should a bed rail risk assessment be reviewed?
