Falls Prevention Week 2025

Monday 15th September - Friday 19th September

Falls are not a normal part of ageing, and many falls can be prevented by following a few simple steps. 

Falls, particularly for older people, can cause injury, pain, loss of confidence, and reduced quality of life. They are also a major reason for hospital admission and can lead to further complications and health problems.

Reducing the number of falls is important for maintaining the health, wellbeing and independence of older people.
