Preventing Falls: A guide to staying steady

Why falls prevention matters 

Falls and fall-related injuries are increasingly common, especially as we get older. Around a third of people aged 65+ and around a half of people aged 80+, fall at least once a year. Whether it be for yourself, a loved one, or someone you care for, understanding falls is very important when it comes to preventing them. Falls can lead to injuries, a loss of confidence and reduced independence. However, the good news is that many falls are preventable.
