Assessment into Action: AHPs Driving Proactive Falls Management and Frailty-Focused CGA

This one-day online CPD course provides an advanced exploration of the relationship between frailty, falls risk, and comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA), with a specific focus on the role of allied health professionals (AHPs) in delivering effective, evidence-based interventions. Participants will develop a deep understanding of how to identify, assess, and manage falls risk within the broader context of frailty, integrating clinical reasoning with multidisciplinary collaboration.

Course Description

The course bridges theory and practice, equipping learners to critically apply the principles of CGA, recognise key risk factors for falls, and design targeted interventions that promote safety, independence, and quality of life in older adults.

Who is the course for?

This course is designed for allied health professionals including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, orthotists, and other clinicians involved in the assessment, rehabilitation and ongoing management of older adults or individuals living with frailty.

It is particularly suited to practitioners working in community, acute or primary care settings who wish to enhance their understanding of CGA and its application in falls prevention.

Delivered at a Level 7 (postgraduate) standard, the course assumes a working knowledge of frailty concepts and experience in clinical assessment or rehabilitation.
