Falls prevention in hospital: a guide for patients, their families and carers

Royal College of Physicians

This guide provides jargon free information on the care patients can expect to receive in hospital, as well as advice on how to be alert to potential dangers and what to do to avoid them. It sets out a check list of simple measures that, when undertaken, can minimise the risk of falling or tripping.
