Falls Prevention with HCPA StopFalls

Friday 22 October 2021

Our second masterclass webinar was led by Verity Forbes from Hertfordshire's Care Providers Association StopFalls Service.   

As we emerge further from the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions the importance of protecting our older adults from the dangers of falls is greater than ever. Within this webinar Verity discussed the theory that sits behind falls prevention, the importance of physical activity (along with some examples of good practice) and details some of the resources that are available to everyone in Hertfordshire to help protect against the dangers of falls.

Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire with Sir Muir Gray 

Thursday 24 June 2021 

The movement's first Masterclass Webinar was led by founder of the national Live Longer Better movement, Sir Muir Gray. Knighted for his services to the NHS and 50 years into a mission of helping people to age well, Muir was the perfect candidate to lead the first event. 

Within his presentation Muir delves deeper into into the theory that underpins the national Live Longer Better movement and reflects on what we can all be doing as a network to improve the state of ageing on a local level. 

The event's recording can be viewed in the video below. 

The next Masterclass Webinar is due to take place in January 2022 with details circulated through the Live Longer Better in Hertfordshire mailing list. If you are not a member of the mailing list yet you can sign up here.
