Greater Manchester Falls Prevention Awareness Week

Thank you for signing up to be a part of the ‘GM Falls Prevention Awareness Week: Online Lunchtime Bitesize Learning Sessions!

We really hope that you found the sessions useful and informative 😊

As promised, here is a link to the GMCA YouTube channel, where you will find a recording of each of the sessions throughout the week. I have also included a link to each of the slide decks from the sessions, plus additional resources that were shared by some of the speakers throughout the week below:

The National Falls Prevention Coordination Group: Medicines and Falls

The World Guidelines for Falls Prevention and Management of Older Adults

Although Falls Prevention Awareness week has come to an end, each and every one of us continues to have a role to play in raising awareness of falls across community, clinical and care settings. We very much welcome you in continuing on this journey with us, working to improve our approach to falls prevention across the system.

As you will know, we launched the ‘Greater Manchester Falls Collaborative: Community of Learning, Sharing and Problem Solving’ during the week, and we would very much like to continue to grow this network of people who are working in falls, has an interest in falls prevention, or has lived experience of falls. Please do email Beth Mitchell at Bethany.mitchell@greatermanchester-ca.gov.uk if you would like to find out more.
