Research Study: Post-Falls Management in Care Homes

Do you work with older people living in care homes who experience falls?

Care home staff, paramedics and healthcare staff across England are invited to take part in a short interview as part of a research study to develop principles for providing care immediately after an older person falls in a care home (known as post-falls management). This research is sponsored (led) by Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. 

We would like to hear experiences and opinions of care home staff, and health care staff working in primary, community, emergency and acute setting to inform the choice of key post-falls management principles. The interview will be conducted by telephone or online, according to your preference. The interview is estimated to take no more than 60 minutes to complete. Further information is in the attached information sheet. Translated information and/or support from an interpreter is available on request. 

We would like to hear from all staff with experience of post-falls management in care homes. We are particularly interested in speaking to staff from minority ethnic backgrounds and/or staff with a non-British nationality to make sure the research reflects the diversity of the workforce in England.
