Falls in Elderly seminar Brunel University

I attended a brilliant seminar on Ageing and falls at the Brunel University on Friday. Seminar details, speakers and agenda I am so glad that I have become a member of their elderly research group Brunel Older Persons Reference Group As I posted before on my involvement a few weeks ago... it is so heart warming to have young and old learning and sharing with one another. Mutual respect and care for one another. Plus we get well looked after with a nice lunch too.. Means a lot in the present day cost of living. I am busy now following up the clinical references a normal way of life for me as a BSc RN RM now retired but still very interested in research. Now that I am 70 yrs next year it is pertinent to my future health and well being to be informed of research to help us understand ageing better.  Here is one useful reference I have just found from the seminar  The Falls Efficacy Scale on this link there is a further link to the World Guidelines on Falls  I will add more to this post as I explore other references.
