Falls prevention and management in older people

With a key focus on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on older people, this virtual event will cover a wide range of topics aimed at developing delegates' skills, knowledge and awareness around effective falls prevention and management in older people, enabling them to:

• network with colleagues who are working to improving falls prevention and management in older people
• reflect on the impact of the pandemic on older people, activity levels and falls prevention services 
• improve falls education and awareness in older people and support people to change behaviour
• identify and manage people at risk of falling, and effectively investigate and learn from falls when they do occur
• learn from best practice in dementia, delirium prevention and falls
• update their knowledge on how effective medicines management can reduce falls.

The conference will also allow delegates to discuss key elements in the reduction of falls in their service, including strength, balance and exercise promotion, managing underlying health issues, developing personalised falls prevention care plans, frailty presenting as falls and improving the systems for falls monitoring, investigation and learning.
