Preventing Falls Among Older People In Hospital 2015

Delegates on this course will leave with the confidence to successfully engage with those at risk and the capability to implement procedures, to help reduce the number of falls in elderly patients. At a cost of £2.3 billion a year, and with an increasingly aging population, hospitals must ensure that they are fully compliant with the new Falls Quality Standard in order to reduce the impact falls have to quality of life, health and healthcare costs. Through the use of a successful falls prevention strategy, the Department of Health has estimated that the number of falls could be reduced by 15 to 30 per cent. Delegates on this Preventing Falls Among Older People In Hospital course, chaired by Harm Gordijn, Falls Management Training and NICE Guideline Development Group member, will leave with the tools to develop an effective fall service and intervention strategy. This course will provide delegates with the confidence to successfully engage with those at risk and the capability to implement procedures, to help reduce the number of falls in elderly patients.
