Falls Management Policy for use in Urgent Treatment Centres, Community and Outpatient settings (P32)
The Trust’s aim is to prevent harm resulting from falls that may occur by assessing each patient and identifying their individual risk and the interventions required. There is an expectation that clinicians who work in the community and who see patients in their own homes, extended care settings or in outpatient settings will use the policy framework as part of their everyday practice within DCHS. This policy incorporates key national guidance: - • NICE CG161 (2013) “Falls: the assessment and prevention of falls in older people • NICE Quality standards (2015) ‘Assessment after a fall and preventing further falls’. • NICE (2015) on ‘Head Injury: assessment and early management’ • BGS Fit for Frailty (2014) ‘Consensus best practice guidance for the care of older people living in community and outpatient settings’ • Public Health England (2019) ‘Preventing falls in people with learning disabilities: making reasonable adjustments’
