“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.

Thanks for listening.
