This module aims to provide you with standard principles and best practice guidelines in relation to falls and fracture prevention. It is important to remember that local policies and guidance should always be followed and all staff have a duty to be aware of, and comply with, their organisation’s requirements. This e-learning module can only offer you an introduction to relevant clinical skills in regard to falls. You will also need to work to develop your skills through being supervised by experienced staff.

This module does not give you the practical skills required to assess and manage falls, please ensure you follow your organisations’ assessment process, in order to be deemed competent in carrying out any practical skills described in this module.

Please take your time to complete this course. We anticipate this module will take you 20-30 minutes to complete. Once you have passed the accompanying assessment, you will receive a certificate of completion to be used to develop your portfolio alongside a record of your CPD credits.
