Reducing the risk of falls in your care home

React To Falls resources have been developed by Professor Pip Logan, Dr Jane Horne, Dr Katie Robinson, Katherine Jones, Jane Balmbra and Kate Robertson in collaboration with clinical colleagues at Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust and Crocodile House Ltd. The work has been supported by the University of Nottingham Division of Rehabilitation, Ageing and Wellbeing, the Academic Health Science Network East Midlands and funded by NHS Improvement. Previous research conducted by Professor Pip Logan at the University of Nottingham was used to provide the basis for the development of these resources.

This resource has been reviewed by Will Lawry (Falls Prevention Clinical Practitioner, Royal Devon University Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust) in April 2024 and amendments made to reflect best practice.
