| Annotation | Janet Robson, a district nurse team leader for Tameside and Glossop PCT, has won this year's NT Award for devising measures to reduce falls among nursing home residents. This article outlines the problems causing falls that she identified, whether in particular areas in the home, or with issues such as eyesight, footwear, or the effects of medication. Her guidelines - which have become known as the Robson Model - are being used not only in care homes, but also by district nurses to help people in their own homes. (RH). |
