Funded Activity Summary

Falls in older people are common, costly and can result in serious injury, ongoing disability or death. This project will design and evaluate two intervention programs based in emergency departments. The first study addresses staff education and training. The second study targets older people at risk of falls. The program could significantly improve clinical practice and service delivery in an area that is a major public health issue and could also relieve the burden on health care resources.
