Fall Prevention

Helping our patients to reduce the risk of falling is very important to us.

Not only is it important for our patients health, reducing the risk of injury, but it also helps to reduce the number of accident and emergency attendances.

When we experience balance issues and feel unsteady, it can hugely affect confidence levels. 
If you are at risk of falling, or have fallen before, you may feel more worried about falling in the future.

The good news is that there are some easy things that you and your family can do to help you stay active, build up strength, improve your balance and keep you healthy.
