For many people over 65, falling is a common problem. It can negatively impact day to day life, and lead to reduced confidence, loss of independence and social isolation. As well as the personal impact, it also comes at a significant cost to healthcare systems. But with early interventions and increased public awareness, falls don’t have to be an inevitable part of ageing.
Steady On Your Feet is a campaign led by the NHS and local authorities to help increase confidence and reduce the risk of falls. The Steady On Your Feet website contains advice, guidance and resources designed for anyone worried about feeling unsteady on their feet. They aim to equip people with simple tips to stay active, independent and safe during everyday activities.
