1
Hoist and transfer competency
Equipment-specific sign-off before any shift. Pressure care built into the daily routine.
Muscular Dystrophy
Lifelong conditions deserve a team that learns once and stays.
Muscular Dystrophy is a lifetime of accumulated patterns. The participant should never have to teach a new worker from scratch every six months.
What WEYA actually does
The clinical specifics, not the brochure.
2
Respiratory support literacy
NIV setup, mask hygiene, and recognising respiratory deterioration. Cough assist familiarity.
3
Long-tenure team
We hire and retain workers who can commit to multi-year placements. Continuity is the product.
4
Communication and autonomy
The participant directs the day. Adult communication, not adult-task management.

Our response

“Respiratory decline is missed.”
Our response
NIV competency mandatory. Respiratory signs reviewed weekly.
“The participant is treated as the diagnosis, not the person.”
Our response
Adult communication is the recruiting filter. Always.
