The information is linked back to the community however when referencing residential aged care there are similar risks impacting on the older person. The risk assessment and approach for each resident must be individualized and the outcomes are to achieve a reduced falls rate and avoid injury.

Great information
Tracey J Thomson
Very good review. It would have been better to see the slides instead of the lecturer.
Gillian Pringle
As with a lot of your taped lectures, the lecturers repeatedly move out of camera scope and it is not possible to hear the audience comments and questions which makes the presentation disjointed at times.
Julie Booth
Good information. It would have been helpful to see the slides that were being shown to the class as well as being able to hear/see the questions asked.
Chris Gaddes
This arena is important as a rural Paramedic who can be often first point of contact for home based clients susceptible to falls, taking the few extra minutes to assess/discuss environmental risks and falls prevention strategies have the ability to keep clients in their familiar surroundings for longer.
Dianne Chand
The information for this was very good. In the first half of the video you could not hear the audiences questions. When a question did pop up on the screen, the sentence was in poor grammar .
