Falls toolkit workshop

Help the Hospices ran a Falls toolkit workshop to coincide with National falls week.

The toolkit

The Falls toolkit includes a

  • falls policy
  • care plan
  • accident report form.

 

Falls policy

Defining all patients as at risk of falls, the policy offers a systematic approach to fall prevention and management.

 

Care plan

The Care Plan has been constructed to put the prevention and management into practice. It is designed for inpatient use, but you could adapt and use it in a community setting.

 

Accident report form

Record the information needed to decide if falls were preventable.
