FALLS AWARENESS WEEK
Older adults in hospital spend up to 95% of their time in bed or in a chair, resulting in loss of muscle mass, strength and bone density, all of which increases their falls risk. Let’s prevent de-conditioning by encouraging safe mobility in our hospitals!
Fantastic to see this healthcare framework for adults living in care homes in Scotland published 🏡 🏴 🙌🏻 listening, learning, collaboration and research… bringing together a structure we can all use to improve lives in future 🌟❤️ looking forward to implementation @NHS_Lothian
