As we all try our best to help curb the spread of COVID-19 please remember that by taking these simple steps you can help save lives. We ALL have a part to play in beating this, please adhere to government and Public Health Agency guidelines #stopthespread
Most hip fractures occur as a result of a fall, and most falls occur at home. As the pandemic continues we find ourselves once again spending more time at home, so you should consider how you can reduce your risk of falls through simple home safety improvements such as removing clutter, providing enough lighting, wearing well fitted footwear, avoiding wet or slippery surfaces and installing grab bars in bathrooms. Stay Safe.
Don’t forget you still need to keep your distance to stop the spread and stop our hospitals becoming overwhelmed.
Thrilled to announce that the TRAC-24 research team won a Gold Award at the first Virtual EFORT Congress for their paper.
