Falls Prevention in Care Homes
Falls are common, harmful, costly and difficult to prevent. The 'Action Falls Prevention in Care Homes' course is designed for individuals who are committed to reducing falls in care homes and wish to train, mentor and enable care home staff in implementing the Action Falls program.
The Action Falls programme has been shown to be a highly effective and economically efficient falls prevention intervention. The programme has shown to reduce the number of falls in care home residents by 43% in the Falls in Care Homes (FINCH) randomised controlled trial.
The Action Falls Prevention in Care Homes course is for health and social care professionals, allied health professionals, registered nurses and medics. This course will benefit professionals seeking to enhance their skills in falls prevention, build relationships with care homes and deliver effective training and support.
