Preventing Falls: A guide to staying steady - What to do if you fall

Stay calm

Try to roll onto your side and get up slowly, if able

Use something sturdy to help you up

If you are hurt or unable to get up after a fall, call for help or use a phone or personal alarm, if available. 

You can also contact NHS 111, who may advise you to visit an urgent care centre for a falls assessment and review. 

Call 999 in an emergency.
