NHS Tayside along with the three local Health and Social Care Partnerships are supporting Falls Awareness Week which runs from 15- 19 September.

This year’s theme is “From Awareness to Action”, to underline the fact that falls are not a normal part of ageing. Most falls can be prevented and older adults have the power to reduce their risk of falling.

Having a fall can leave you feeling quite shaken up - and even the thought of falling can affect a person’s confidence.

Each day we will be sharing advice and simple tips to help reduce the risk of falling.
Operational Falls Lead (Dundee) Masche Tauro explains, “As we get older, lots of us may start to feel a bit unsteady on our feet and become worried about falling. But there are simple things you can do to help yourself feel more confident and avoid a slip or fall.

“There are many factors that can increase your chance of a fall such as wearing poorly fitting shoes or slippers, loose rugs and clutter on the floor, and badly lit areas in the home.

“Poor eyesight and wearing dirty glasses, not having your hearing checked and feeling dizzy as a result of medications can contribute to poor balance which can lead to a fall.

“To mark Falls Awareness Week there are information stands in the reception area of Royal Victoria Hospital and in the Central Library in the Wellgate Shopping Centre in Dundee. Please visit the stands where you will be able to pick up information leaflets giving advice and tips on reducing your, or a family member’s, falls risk.”
