Mobile Shower Commodes: Clinical Selection & Prescribing
Published on
February 6th, 2026
Crescent Healthcare invites you to join this educational webinar designed to support confident, clinically sound decision-making when prescribing mobile shower commodes. With over four decades of experience partnering with clinicians across aged care, disability, rehabilitation, and community settings, we understand that mobile shower commodes play a critical role in personal care, dignity, and safety — for both clients and carers.
Choosing the right mobile shower commode is about far more than basic measurements or weight limits. Factors such as posture, transfer, environment, skin integrity, and fatigue all influence outcomes, and inappropriate selection can increase risk, discomfort, and manual handling challenges.
We would like to invite you to join our educational webinar focused on helping clinicians move beyond specifications and into practical, real-world clinical reasoning, supporting safer care, improved function, and consistent prescribing decisions across diverse care environments.
The session is practical, evidence-informed, and grounded in real-world clinical application, focusing on reducing trial-and-error prescribing and supporting clinically sound outcomes across home, community, and facility-based settings.
Date: Tuesday, 12 May 2026
Session time: 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Duration: 1 hour
What We Will Discuss
This webinar will explore the key principles that underpin safe and effective mobile shower commode selection, including:
- The core functions of a mobile shower commode and why they matter clinically
- Clinical indications for use across home, community, and facility-based settings
- How to match the commode to the individual, considering posture, function, and support needs
- Key risk considerations, including stability, transfers, and user safety
- Environmental checks to support safe use within bathrooms and care spaces
- Common prescribing pitfalls and practical strategies to avoid them
Designed to support occupational therapists and healthcare professionals working in aged care, rehabilitation, disability, and community settings, learning outcomes include improved confidence in selecting the right commode, reduced trial-and-error prescribing (supported by practical tools), and better client comfort and safety.
