This conference focuses on falls prevention and management in older adults with a focus on ensuring effective and resilient falls prevention activity. The conference will update delegates on the April 2025 NICE Guidance update: Falls: assessment and prevention in older people and people 50 and over at higher risk and highlight best practice through case studies.
Sessions will support you to set up a comprehensive falls management and prevention service and will focus on interventions to reduce the risk of falls as indicated by the 2025 NICE guideline. We will explore implementation of interventions focused on activity and falls, developing and effective falls prevention programme, effective personalised multidisciplinary assessment including the new MASA tool, falls and delirium, the psychological impact of falling, medication management and improving secondary prevention. The conference will also discuss key elements in the reduction of falls in your service including strength, balance and exercise promotion, managing underlying health issues, developing personalized falls prevention care plans, and frailty presenting as falls. The conference will update delegates on national requirements for falls investigation and learning under the Patient Safety Incident Response Framework (PSIRF), the move to neighbourhood health, and maximising ongoing participation in falls prevention interventions.
