Falls Prevention Starts with a Conversation

UK: sept. 15-19 – US sept. 22-26

Falls are not a normal part of ageing, and many falls can be prevented by following a few simple steps.

Falls, particularly for older people, can cause injury, pain, loss of confidence, and reduced quality of life. They are also a major reason for hospital admission and can lead to further complications and health problems.

Reducing the number of falls is important for maintaining the health, wellbeing and independence of older people.

Making changes to prevent falls can help older people avoid injuries and keep their  confidence and independence.
