After seven years front-line experience within the Dementia Care sector, Charise Mullings, Inventor and Managing Director of GIPskins PPE, wanted to come up with a solution to the problem of staff sustaining arm injuries as part of their job in the workplace. This injury risk issue was also highlighted by a Research Advisory Group in partnership with Skills for Care, the NHS and Unison.
Charise arrived at the concept of a protective sleeve for the arms and now, three years on, the product is ready to bring to market.
