Description

This programme promotes a consistent approach to falls reduction and management for older people through risk assessment, individualised care planning and post-falls review. It will outline causes and risks for falls and will assist participants to identify those patients or residents who are at risk of falls. Risk assessment tools such as FRAISE, FRAT and STRATIFY will be explored. There will be a focus on individualised care planning to mitigate falls and promote patient safety, and falls reduction techniques, with the aim of improving patient safety and minimising injuries in the older population. Participants will practise completing a post-falls review.
