No other single cause of injury, including road trauma, costs the health system more than falls. In NSW each year, falls lead to approximately 27,000 hospitalisations and more than 400 deaths. More than one in three people aged 65 or over fall at least once a year and many fall more often. There has been extensive research demonstrating that many falls among older people can be prevented.

The Mid North Coast nurse network evening is an opportunity for nurses to network with your peers and local Physiotherapists, Stepping On Program Coordinator, Pharmacist and General Practitioner within a world café group discussion model to learn skills and strategies to reduce falls and implement positive lifestyle changes for your patients.

This event is proudly hosted by North Coast PHN in partnership with APNA.
