Falls Prevention Training – Online Course
One Fall Can Change a Life… But Many Falls Can Be Prevented. A fall isn’t always “just a fall.” For many people, it’s the moment life changes. Confidence disappears. Independence is questioned. Recovery becomes a journey rather than a destination. The good news? Many falls are entirely preventable. Our Falls Prevention Training course has been designed to help healthcare professionals, carers and support staff recognise risks before accidents happen, creating safer environments whilst enabling people to remain active, independent and in control of their lives. Built around current UK legislation, NHS guidance and best practice, this engaging course provides practical, real world knowledge that can be applied immediately across hospitals, care homes, supported living services, domiciliary care and community healthcare settings. Why Choose This Course? Falls prevention isn’t about stopping people from living their lives. It’s about giving people the confidence to continue living them safely. This course goes beyond simply identifying trip hazards. It explores why falls happen, how multiple risk factors combine, and how person centred care can significantly reduce the likelihood of injury whilst preserving independence, dignity and wellbeing. You’ll learn how to identify risks early, carry out effective falls assessments, implement meaningful prevention strategies, respond appropriately following a fall and ensure accurate documentation that supports learning and continuous improvement. Because preventing just one fall could prevent a fracture, a hospital admission or even save a life.
