Our new Falls Prevention Physical Activity and Education Programme is designed to support people living with frailty, those who have had a fall, or anyone at risk of falling.
The programme is delivered over 12 weekly sessions, following the Postural Stability Instructor model. Each session includes:
If you’re worried about safety in your home, the Falls Assessor can also arrange a home visit to provide support.
Teas and coffees are provided during the session, giving you time to relax and meet new people.
The programme is free to attend, but it’s important to attend all 12 sessions to get the full benefit.
Once you finish the programme, Xcite can help you stay active by recommending gentle and seated exercise classes to help maintain your progress.
This programme is part of a pilot project and is only available through five GP practices:
If you are registered with one of these practices and feel this programme could help you, please speak to your GP or Practice Nurse and ask for a referral.
