Updated Australian guidelines, with evidence for #falls prevention in residential #agedcare and #hospitals prepared by our team @FlindersRACR - great collaborative work with @venisa_kwok @charlottemclennan @JenniSuen @CathieSherr @JasmineMenant through @CRE_PFI @Flinders

Today we published updated national Falls Guidelines for hospitals, residential aged care and community care. Updated in partnership with @NeuRA, the #FallsGuidelines provide clear strategies to prevent falls and reduce harm. https://t.co/yMpx01sULC #FallsPrevention #AgedCare

@Flinders' Wicked Problems Survey is an opportunity for Australians to decide which issues leading researchers should prioritise. Early insights gathered through focused conversations in SA have identified 15 major issues. Have your say 👉 https://t.co/DR7CEPpmXa

🚨Exercise programs successfully reduced #falls in residential aged care, when continuous supervised moderate intensity group exercise or for ambulatory resident at least 80min/wk was provided. Read here: https://t.co/4zViePM2Y3 @CRE_PFI @FlindersRACR

We're committed to the journey of ensuring Australians in aged care get the nutritional support they need for a fulfilling life. Karly Bartrim #APD and Professor Judi Porter spoke to @abcnews advocating for malnutrition screening in aged care. Read more https://t.co/sb3D1ORz7H

New paper synthesising trialist views on components of exercise programs that prevent falls in aged care from @dawson_rik PhD in @BJSM_BMJ. Made possible by @SuzanneMDyer @KatySutcliffe @DylanKneale @JenniSuen who helped us use ICA methods. @apaphysio @syd_health @SydneyResearch

🚨 Effective fall prevention exercise in residential aged care 💪 #NEW 📄 An intervention component analysis from an updated systematic review #OpenAccess 👉 https://t.co/StMD3Ipk0H

Check out @ROSA_Project's latest article on the use of primary and specialist care services by people receiving home care packages- as expected the numbers are sobering and so much room for improvement exists. https://t.co/qcbeqsfzDs @gill_baby28 @GillHar26 @mariacrotty15

New guidance on reducing falls in aged care https://t.co/u9iXCbFaG9 Great to see our message about the importance of ongoing #exercise & multifactorial #fallsprevention involving #agedcare staff in @AustAgeAgenda @Flinders @FlindersRACR @JenniSuen @CathieSherr @Keith_Hill_RAIL

Regular exercise and a personalised falls prevention plan can prevent falls in aged care homes, @Flinders University research has found. https://t.co/Pz7wznAuX6

@JenniSuen presenting at #fallsconf23 on novel methods for systematic reviews to determine features of #exercise trials key for successful reduction of #falls in residential #agedcare @CRE_PFI @FlindersRACR @CathieSherr

Fantastic talk from Dr Sandra Iuliano from @UniMelb at @anzfps conference, on data from her research on #falls prevention. Interesting data on the impact on weight loss creep amongst #residents

Clinicians & reachers needed for #frailty & #heart failure co-design study! Please circulate among your networks 🫀@ANZSSFR @heartfoundation @thecsanz @ACNC1 @CVSNHeart @escardio @ACNAPPresident @quin_denfeld @AusFrailty @FrailtyScience @frailtynexus

Colleagues, please take a moment to respond to the LEAPP survey to guide the Clinical Practice Guidelines for postnatal care! @ProfCCollins @ALSWH_Official

@SuzanneMDyer overviewing our work exploring heterogeneity in trials in aged care settings with ICA and QCA with guidance from @DylanKneale @KatySutcliffe. First paper out led by @JenniSuen. Importance of staff engagement and tailoring. #fallsconf23 https://t.co/wuWQzpsQBz

Engaging staff & managers and tailoring interventions to individuals is key for effective multifactorial #fallsprevention in #agedcare More emphasis on #codesign needed Novel #systematicreview methods from @UCL highly informative! @Flinders @CRE_PFI https://t.co/FqhYmMQQmy

New paper in @Age_and_Ageing defines how to provide effective multifactorial #falls prevention in care homes. Presented #Flinders Emerging Leaders Showcase today, 11am-1pm! @SuzanneMDyer @CathieSherr @FlindersRACR @DylanKneale @venisa_kwok @KatySutcliffe

Along with @dietitiansaus, I welcome news that an overhaul of Aus’s Medicare system intends to better integrate #alliedhealth profs into #primaryhealthcare. To tackle the complex #chronichealth issues Aussies face, we need to ensure better access to care https://t.co/JEPXfzfham

GPs say they are "overwhelmed with demand and frustrated with a rigid system that doesn’t support them". A new @GrattanInst report recommends making general practice a team sport, using the skills of other clinicians + health-care workers.

Dietitians Australia want to see aged care facilities' menus and meals assessed annually by a dietitian. This follows the latest food and nutrition report which found almost 25% of facilities are still spending less than $10 per resident a day on food.
