Film - "Getting up From a Fall"

Windsor view

We have produced a short film called "Getting Up from a Fall - and Planning Ahead" which is aimed at people who are vulnerable from having a fall.  It gives real practical advice on what to do in the case of a fall.

It demonstrates and explains a simple method for getting up, but also explains other related aspects giving advice both for whether you can move and get up, or if that is not possible.

It goes on to give advice on planning ahead to be better prepared if you do have a fall, e.g. placing items around your rooms that could be useful if you were to fall, and having a procedure for calling for help.
