'Rather than jumping in with suggestions about how to become more active,time spent getting people to talk about things like what’s important to them,how they might best get started,or who they might like to do an activity with can make them more likely to change their behaviour'

Restoring falls rehab programmes is challenging in these times but we can achieve effective uptake & adherence with new blended delivery approaches using face to face, telephone, virtual and educational leaflets.
British Geriatrics Society@GeriSoc

British Geriatrics Society@GeriSoc

Care home residents are 3 times more likely to fall than people living in the community. Residents continue to fall, and in the current climate it is difficult to support #carehome staff to prevent, modify and manage #falls bgs.org.uk/blog/falls-in-…

Great creativity from Tracey Fryer (and her daughter, Charlotte) whilst working from home, they designed this poster together to promote Falls Prevention in the Ashbourne team. Brilliant poster for QA Falls Prevention Champions to share and use. @DCHStrust @DCHS_QA.
