This information describes the guidance that the
National Institute for Clinical Excellence (called
NICE for short) has issued to the NHS on falls. It is
based on ‘Falls: the assessment and prevention of falls in older people’, which is a clinical guideline
produced by NICE for doctors, nurses and others
working in the NHS in England and Wales.
Although this information has been written chiefly
for people who are at risk of a fall and their
families, it may also be useful for those who care
for people at risk of a fall and anyone interested
in the care of older people or in healthcare in
general. Please note that the word ‘carer’ is used
in this booklet to mean someone who cares for
an older person but is not paid for doing so.
