Falls Prevention and Bone Health Service

The Community Falls Prevention and Bone Health service will be a clinically-led service that seeks to ensure all patients that are at risk of falling or that have had a fall and/or fragility fracture have access to:

Falls assessment;

Falls prevention education and management;

Integrated care plan;

Medication management;

Rehabilitation and support programmes.

The service is to act as a gateway to interventions to reduce the incidence of falls and fragility fractures to reduce subsequent A&E attendances, admissions for fracture, loss of independence and mortality.
