New Development, Falls Prevention Awareness Project ........

During Falls week June 2014 we held a stakeholder engagement event. The aims of this event were to engage and consult with providers of care to design and shape a Walsall innovative falls prevention learning & development programme for our Health and Social Care workforce.

This event provided an opportunity to consider and discuss what learning and support services are currently available, what the data is telling us around the incidence of falls, who is most at risk and to clarify what sector of our workforce needs this most. 

A full and detailed evaluation of the event is available here

Our next steps:

  • To pilot an Integrated Health & Social Care Falls Prevention Learning & Development Programme
  • Develop an e-learning programme
  • Public awareness campaign
  • An interactive falls prevention app compatible with smart technology
