Follow the conference on X #InpatientFalls

This national falls summit focuses on reducing inpatient falls, and harm from inpatient falls. Through national updates, practical case studies and learning from the National Audit of Inpatient Falls report. The conference will provide a step by step guide to implementing the multiple interventions that have been proven to reduce falls in your service. The conference will reflect on the April 2025 NICE Guideline update on Falls: assessment and prevention in older people and people 50 and over at higher risk, and the recommendations from last years National Audit of Inpatient Falls addressing how we can ensure patients are as active as possible rather than reducing activity to reduce falls which leads to deconditioning. The event will include practical advice on implementing Multifactorial Assessment to Optimise Safe Activity (MASA) which has been developed by the Royal College of Physicians and recommended for use by the 2024 National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF), and provide advice on immediate post falls management. The conference will also update delegate on the implications of the Patient Safety Incident Response framework (PSIRF) for falls investigation.
