I chose to do my project on falls prevention on one of our older persons wards, my idea was to use alternative lighting at night time to aid mobility.
I did some research with our governance department and identified a ward area which had high numbers of falls at night time with patients attempting to use the toilet or commode.
I contacted key stake holders to engage them with my idea. I applied for funding through our community partnership fund and £180 was approved.

The initiative was launched in June 2018 and I plan to reconvene with our governance department to map the numbers of falls so I can compare data to measure the success of the project. If the project is successful then we can roll it out further across the Trust to other wards.
