We know falls have a significant impact on older people's morbidity/mortality. We must address risks but can we please ensure we address this with the potential risk of deconditioning as we know healthcare professionals fear of falls increases the risk of falls & deconditioning
Our final speaker is Jennifer Rankin, Strategic Clinical Nurse Expert with Regulatory Compliance representing @NursingHomesIre who speaks to us about @HSECommHealth1 Falls Prevention Framework.
Falls account for 40% of all injury deaths that occur in care homes. 1 in 10 care home residents who fall sustain a fracture. Recommendation to:
◼️ Conduct a multifactorial falls prevention assessment as part of routine care for all older adults. ◼️ Develop targeted and individualised falls prevention plans.
◼️ Post falls assessments.
◼️ Exercise programmes to prevent falls in all residential care facilities.
◼️ Daily or weekly Vitamin D supplements, unless contraindicated.
◼️ Bone health prescription for all with an osteoporosis diagnosis or a history of low trauma fractures.

Take great care on #portmarnockbeach if you’re in the water today. Really really strong current. I struggled to get back to the beach after being taken out of my depth and I’m a regular open water swimmer. Lots of young kids out. #seaswim

We want to protect more people against Delta, so we're pleased to now invite those aged 25-29 to register online for an MRNA Covid19 vaccine. The rising daily cases are a real concern and we'll continue to accelerate calling younger ages forward, once supplies permit. @HSELive

If you're heading to the beach, river or lake today, remember to never use inflatables on open water and always supervise children closely.
