If a patient falls, staff can get the grab bag which contains the laminated Falls proforma, slide sheets and gloves, swabs, pocket tape, non-slip socks and laminated Falls signs to display and a pen torch.
Contents of the bag were agreed following consultation with ward staff, and Joanne Lewis-Hodgkinson, Falls Lead, is aiming to tie this in to #FabChangeDay, and roll it out across the hospital.
Ward Falls Champions will be responsible for ensuring that the bags are replenished. Contact Joanne at [email protected] @joanneHodgkin
