Falls Prevention Awareness

When caring for someone of a certain age, they may be susceptible to falls. This leaves them vulnerable to seriously hurting themselves if not properly cared for. With the right precautionary measures, we can help to reduce this risk.

Course Description

With falls being the most frequent and serious type of accident for people over 65, it’s important that all those who deal with elderly and vulnerable people have a good understanding of how to stop this from happening. Falls can cause serious mental and physical problems, such as isolation, lack of confidence and broken bones. This course is excellent for anyone working within the health and social care industry, or who has regular contact with elderly people.
