⭐️Monitoring Monday⭐️ Patients may suffer from postural hypotension - with or without symptoms; this may lead to a fall. We must complete a L&S BP on all patients aged >65 or at risk of falls to ensure correct management if a drop in BP is found‼️ #fallsawarenessweek

So true & must be recognised that deconditioning is an avoidable falls risk. Falls prevention measures in hospital must not reduce activity teapawt.org/lynn_morrison66/status…

Really important to reduce risks of deconditioning and keep people active & at home where possible @HSCAberdeen teapawt.org/redmond_imelda/status/…
