Falls Brief Intervention Training

Cardiff and Vale local public health team deliver a training course for those who work and/or volunteer with those living in the local communities. The aim of this session is to highlight the risk of falls and help individuals understand how to reduce the likelihood of a fall as we age.

Course Objectives:

Practical information to identify falls risk and those at risk of falling.
Understanding of where people can get support to reduce their risk of falling.
Skills and techniques useful in starting conversations about falls.

At the end of the course you will be able to help people you come into contact with to reduce their risk of having a fall, by providing them with advice and signposting them to appropriate services.
