News, info and interesting 'stuff'

Hello floor, so nice to meet you, but I would like to get up now!

Saying hello to the floor is OK - as long as you know how to get up again!

Lying on the floor after a fall for a long time can lead to serious complications  hypothermia, dehydration etc  The first line of defence in falls safety is to prevent falls, but the reality is not all falls can be prevented so it is equally important to practice getting up! 


My very dear friends at Later Life Training have helped to produce this information on what you can do if you fall: https://www.nhsinform.scot/healthy-living/preventing-falls/dealing-with-a-fall/what-to-do-if-you-fall?fbclid=IwAR0IB3Zo2d1-_14UbSE3tLGt6BVU1Ir8tnSty_a-RJp4z9aOeJK1zrK8jhw

Please scroll down to the very end as there is a huge amount of information.
If you want to have a practice please be sure to have the phone nearby- just in case and when you walk about the house think about how you might 'get up' at different locations. I know someone who had a 'grab handle' screwed the wall in the hallway 'just in case'! Better safe than sorry.
