Abstract

There is an urgent need to improve the care of older people at risk of or who experience falls in mental health settings. Falls are the most frequently reported patient safety incident. NICE Guidelines recommends the use of multidisciplinary fall risk assessment during individualised treatment and in prevention care plans for older people at risk of falls (NICE, 2004). This poster outlines work underway to explore the policy guidance issued by NHS Mental Health Trusts in England
and Health Boards in Wales
