Join Nourish Care webinar next week to find out what we can learn from data insights surrounding falls prevention and what the future of falls prevention could look like in Social Care. We will be joined by the National Care Forum and Dr Fran Allen, Research Fellow from University of Nottingham.
The Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF) reported that in 2017 to 2018 there were around 220,160 emergency hospital admissions related to falls among patients aged 65 and over, with around 146,665 (66.6%) of these patients aged 80 and over.
People who live in care homes have an increased risk of falling. Falls are common, harmful, costly, and difficult to prevent. This webinar will cover how can we be effective and learn quickly from data insights surrounding falls prevention, what research has been done, what the future of falls prevention could look like and the impact digital data can make in the prevention of falls.
This webinar will be led by Nourish CEO and founder Nuno Almeida, NCF’s Digital Transformation Lead Adam Hunt and Nourish’s Chief Product Officer Jeremy Baldwin. Dr Fran Allen, Research Fellow from Nottingham University will also be sharing insights about the Action Falls programme (formally GtACH) which trains and supports care home staff to identify the reasons why residents fall and then guides them to complete actions to reduce falls. In a large multicentre randomised controlled trial called the FinCH trial, the Action Falls Programme was cost-effective and reduced falls by 43%.
You will take away from this webinar:
