As we age, we may start to find that we become a little unsteady or don’t feel as strong as we used to. Other things can be happening at the same time, like more use of medications or eyesight changing. This can mean that we become more at risk of having a fall, which although for many people may not result in significant injury, it can mean that it will happen again.

We know that a third of people aged over 65 will fall every year. However, the good news is that falls are not an inevitable part of ageing, and many are preventable. This page will provide some information about how to reduce our risk of falls and where you can go if you are worried about falling.
