🗣️ Could one conversation help prevent a fall?
Our Falls Prevention Roadshow takes support directly into local communities, helping people stay independent, active and safe.
Delivered from the Trust's research bus, the roadshow has already attended seven community events across Neston, Blacon, Great Sutton, Frodsham and Grosvenor Garden Centre, offering falls prevention advice, assessments and support.
The findings have been eye-opening:
📊 61% of people who visited the bus needed further intervention, including medication reviews, bone health investigations or additional assessments.
This highlights just how important prevention and early intervention can be. Many people don't realise they're at increased risk of falling until they have a conversation with a healthcare professional.
As well as supporting residents, the research bus is helping us better understand the health needs of our communities and connect people with the right services before problems become more serious.
