Interesting read. As a team we are gradually getting our service up and running again. Having to adapt in a changing world and continuing to have patients at the forefront of our minds. @LPTnhs @GeriSoc #fallsprevention #falls bgs.org.uk/blog/are-you-r…

Tomorrow marks the last day of my Covid-19 Redeployment - Thank You NW Community Team for making me feel welcome, not the easiest few weeks for anyone, but we muddled through with smiles on our masked faces. Thanks for the gifts. Work Family - I’m coming home!!!@LPTnhs @LPTFALLS

This festive season, #CheckIn on friends, neighbours and relations that live alone. #Loneliness and #isolation can lead to #depression which can cause a decline in physical health. #ReachOut if you think someone needs a friend. Loneliness can – and does – affect anyone. #AGEUK

@LouWragg @wfawzi @DrAmarShah @tracy11836237 @FallsKent @elht_on @Daniela99383823 @CarmelStevens15 Multifactorial assessment is also key. Identifying risk factors and giving staff advice and confidence to do something about them. It is the simple things that are most effective.

@wfawzi @DrAmarShah @tracy11836237 @LPTFALLS @FallsKent @elht_on @Daniela99383823 @CarmelStevens15 That would be great! Thank you so much!! I’ve been inundated with sales reps getting in touch but I’m quite wary and would much rather speak to others who’ve tried and tested!! Simple and effective is what I’m aiming for!

Would love to hear from fellow tweeters with any ideas about falls prevention in mental health inpatient settings- equipment recommendations, change ideas 💡 studies/papers worth reading etc #FountainsCourtQI @LPTFALLS @FallsKent @elht_on @Daniela99383823
