Trips & falls advice
A new booklet called Up and About: Taking positive steps to avoid trips and falls has been produced by NHS Health Scotland, Age Scotland and the National Osteoporosis Society. It includes information and helpful advice to those most at risk of trips and falls.
Around one in three older people experience a fall at least once a year.
Whatever a person’s age, there are simple things they can do to increase their confidence and reduce their risk of trips and falls.
It also includes practical information around what to do if a person has a fall and where they can go for support and advice.
The online version of the booklet is available at: www.healthscotland.com/uploads/documents/23464-UpAndAbout.pdf
