A Funded Webinar from REACH
Funded training on evidence-based falls prevention and management strategies to support and enable people working in Nursing and Care Homes. Register for your free place via Eventbrite
https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/125444073601.
Please note this webinar has limited spaces so book to avoid disappointment.
Fall incidences in care homes are reported to be three times more than in the community. This equates to rates of 1.5 falls per care home bed per year.
But.....falls are not inevitable. Many falls are preventable. There are multiple tools and resources to help prevent falls.
This webinar places the emphasis on anticipating and preventing falls. It also looks at managing falls once they occur.
Small changes = big impact.
Simple things = huge difference.
You can make a difference.
REACH Cornwall, have worked in collaboration with Kernow CCG, RCHT and Cornwall Council to create this virtual workshop with the aim of:
- Reducing the likelihood and frequency of falls through effective risk assessment and risk management
- Minimising complications and safely manage unavoidable falls
- Developing knowledge, skills and confidence to assess the person who has fallen, assess the situation and initiate the most appropriate response in a timely manner
- Explore innovative ways to reduce the incidence of falls in Nursing and Care Homes
There will also be a Q & A session.
Ideally, we would like you to book on the date that is linked to the area (Integrated Care Area) where you work. This will enable to get to know each other better, share good practice and learn from each other. However, if you cannot make the webinar for your locality you are welcome to join on an alternative day (all sessions are from 1 - 3.30pm).
North/East Cornwall: Tuesday 10th November 2020
Central Cornwall: Tuesday 8th December 2020
West Cornwall: Tuesday 12th January 2021
REACH Cornwall (part of the ESF Business Clusters project) is part-funded by the European Social Fund and delivered by Truro and Penwith College Business, your trusted training partner.
