If you require any further information please ask a member of staff for the falls
prevention leaflet:
If you feel dizzy - stop, sit down, and let the ward staff
know.
Drink regularly and eat well.
Be familiar with your bedside environment. Ask for
clutter to be moved if your path isn't clear.
Make sure your shoes or slippers fit well, grip well and
cannot fall off.
Take care in the bathroom and toilet. Ask for help if you
need assistance.
It is also important to make sure that you receive a falls
risk assessment - see 'What should hospitals be
doing?
