Move It May
Healthcare providers play an important role in falls prevention. Throughout May, health professionals across WA will be promoting the Stay On Your Feet falls prevention message.
Did you know that physical inactivity increases the risk of falls in older adults?
The good news is that falls can be prevented, and there are a range of actions that health professionals, residential aged care home staff and consumers can do to help. The impact is significant and so is our ability to change it.
Move It May is an important reminder that small actions can be undertaken to help prevent the incidence of falls in hospitals and residential aged care homes.
A suite of resources for Move It May is now available. These resources include activities for staff and consumers, as well as a range of educational materials and links.
