Thank you to everyone who has supported Falls Awareness Week 2024. As we go Into Saturday and Sunday think about ‘Safety’ and what extra mitigations you can put in place to keep people safe in hospital or their own homes to help reduce the risk of falls.

It’s Falls Friday @MidYorkshireNHS nearly the end of Falls week. Ensure patients assessments are up to date and falls care plans and bedrail assessments have been completed #thinkfalls#fallsfriday#fallsweek

In National Falls week, we've been promoting the things you can do to improve your balance and reduce your risk of falls. Here's a summary of some of the key topics. #YHFalls

Falls risk assessments, care plans and bedrail risk assessments are important for keeping people safe whilst in hospital or at home. Remember in hospital these risk assessments are completed on admission, transfer, weekly, post fall or change in condition.

👏

Dehydration could be a factor that increases a persons risk of falling. Encourage people to drink both in hospital and in their own homes. Assistance should be offered if required. Remember to complete your daily hydration assessments and monitor as required 🥛☕️🧃💦 #ThinkFalls

Free webinar available today 12pm looking at seeing falls differently. See info below to join.
