  • Title: NICE guidance on preventing and assessing falls in older people.
    Author: Hainsworth T.
    Journal: Nurs Times; ; 100(49):28-30. PubMed ID: 15630968.
    Abstract:
    Falls in older people are a significant problem causing both injury and loss of independence. New guidance from the National Institute for Clinical Excellence on the assessment and prevention of falls clearly sets out evidence-based practice and is supported by patient and carer information that highlights the need for a patient-centred approach to falls prevention.
