Falls Prevention Week
This year’s theme for Falls Prevention Awareness Week (15–19 September 2025) is “From Awareness to Action”, highlighting the important message that falls are not an inevitable part of ageing.
Most falls can be prevented, and older adults have the ability to reduce their risk through physical activity and improved fitness.
Falls Awareness Week is a crucial initiative aimed at raising awareness about the risks associated with falls, particularly among older adults.
The Integrated Care Partnership is actively promoting this week to highlight the importance of falls prevention and to provide valuable resources and support to the community.
Importance of Falls Awareness Week:
Falls are a significant health concern, especially for individuals aged 50 and above. They can lead to serious injuries, loss of independence, and increased healthcare costs. By promoting Falls Prevention Awareness Week, the Integrated Care Partnership aims to educate residents about fall risks and prevention strategies. This initiative is part of a broader commitment to enhance the health and well-being of the community.
