Falls prevention
Anyone can have a fall, but older people are more vulnerable than others. This is mainly because long-term health conditions increase the chances of a fall.
There are a number of ways you can reduce your chances of having a fall, including making simple changes to your home. The NHS has provided a useful guide to falls prevention.
Some falls may be caused by side effects of medication. If this is something you are concerned about, visit your local pharmacist and ask for a Medicines Use Review. This might identify the problem and your medication could then be adjusted.
