Why do we uphold Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment? It reduces mortality, improves independence , reduces hospital admissions and can even reverse the progression of frailty. CGA is the way! buff.ly/3ZaQZJc #BGSconf
Medicines can cause side effects such as drowsiness, dizziness and vision problems.
@NWAmbulance advises you to make sure you are taking them as prescribed to help prevent falls.
Visit the NHS website and search falls for more advice.
