Falls Prevention Fuel Tank

Cardiff and Vale University Health Board produced the ‘Falls prevention fuel tank: when did you last check yours?’ video with funding from Public Health Wales and Cardiff and Vale Health Charity.

The video uses the analogy of the fuel tank in a car, and the idea of ‘checking and topping up your tank regularly’ to help prevent falling. The fuller your fuel tank, the lower your falls risk. Simple things can top your fuel tank to help reduce your falls risks, such as keeping yourself hydrated, medication reviews, blood pressure checks, eye tests and keeping yourself active.
