As part of our commitment to keeping patients safe and independent, we support referrals to the Central London Community Healthcare (CLCH) Falls Prevention Service, which offers specialist assessments and interventions to reduce the risk of falls, particularly in older adults or those with balance and mobility issues.
This community-based service offers:
✔ Assessments to evaluate fall risks
✔ Advice on fall prevention strategies
✔ Exercise programs to improve strength and balance
Their Service’s Include:
- Falls risk screening — Identifying patients at risk of falling through routine checks or after a reported fall.
- Referral to CLCH Falls Prevention Team — Facilitating access to specialist assessments by physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and nurses.
- Home safety advice — Guidance on reducing fall risks in your living environment, such as removing trip hazards and improving lighting.
- Medication review support — Helping you manage medications that may affect balance or coordination.
- Coordination with careers and families — Engaging loved ones in fall prevention strategies and safety planning.
Patient Aftercare & Follow-Up
After referral, the CLCH Falls Prevention Team will arrange follow-up assessments and provide you with exercises, home modifications, or physiotherapy as needed. Our practice will remain involved in your overall care, and we’re here to review any ongoing concerns or changes in your condition.
