AnnotationFalls among older people are common, disabling and often fatal. An inter-agency approach, in which nurses play an important role, can help identify risk factors and prevent falls occurring. This article includes a description of the "Walk Tall, Don't Fall" health promotion campaign which targets groups of older people, for example, in sheltered housing, church groups and luncheon clubs in South Cambridgeshire.
