Falls Prevention - Bespoke Falls Risk Factors & Interventions ('Live' Online)

Overview

This training is a comprehensive and convenient module that is completed 'Live' online with one of our Falls Prevention Specialists, you and your team that incorporates bespoke information about your Nursing Home or Nursing Home group.

 

We cover all current falls facts and prevalence data, the most important falls risk factors and best practice interventions that your team can immediately implement into day-to-day practice in your home. Relevant data collected from your home or homes can be included in the training which can greatly assist the practical implementation of learnings from the day. 

Review questions are included throughout the module and content navigation tools aim to keep the learner engaged in the learning process along with downloadable PDFs with more in-depth information in areas such as falls risk increasing drugs (FRIDs). 

 

Six risk factors will be described in detail, with interactive examples of what effects these risk factors have on individuals that lead to an increase in falls risk. From this you will be taught what interventions are best used to manage these.
