#FallsPreventionWeek #FallsPreventionAwarenessWeek #falls A loss of strength, confidence and a decreased ability to balance arise from not moving enough. We can't simply wait for patients to become 'safer' or 'lower risk'...... They need to move asap, even in #hospital.

Enhanced Health in Care Homes - DCHS are involved with improving falls prevention and post fall care in care homes. This recent publication provides an honest reflection of ways we can improve integrated healthcare in care homes.

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.

New CPD topics to share at our next falls forum on 19th Oct. Contact DCHST.safecaremovementteam@nhs.net for invite details

First time attending a virtual conference. Easy to navigate to poster presentations and finding networking a lot easier than walking around a crowded venue @DchsFalls @DCHStrust @DCHS_QA

Lots of time spent recently supporting community services with falls service restoration. Useful guidance here @DCHS_QA @DchsFalls @DCHStrust

Vasovagal syncope is a common presentation in unscheduled care but patients need to know their triggers & behavioural modification. Updated with @LesleyAnderton our leaflet with advice, pictures & QR code to video. Graphics @drstefanielip . Download https://t.co/g5RLfOFRPK

Looking forward to attending my first virtual conference next week to hear updates like this ⬇️ to improve falls prevention at DCHS and in Derbyshire. #BGS #falls

Major trauma was once perceived as a realm of vehicle accidents or violence affecting young or middle-aged people. The majority of patients attending hospitals with severe injuries are >60 years of age and have fallen from a standing height

Falls Forum Restoration Special. Great discussions between clinicians sharing knowledge on how to minimise virtual barriers, optimising skills of B3s and B4s & new ways to deliver safe & effective falls rehab. #justthebeginning @DCHStrust @DCHS_QA @MaryHeritage
