New online resource launched aimed at preventing falls and improving wellbeing

Health and care partners from across Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire have launched a new comprehensive online resource aimed at preventing falls and supporting wellbeing.

The new web pages, which are available on the Healthier Together website, provide information about:

• Staying active, exercises, local groups and classes
• Looking after your health
• Staying safe at home
• Reducing your risk of falling.

Nadia Holland, Locality Development Manager at NHS Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board, said:

“We have launched the online resource to give people all the information they need about falls prevention and wellbeing in one place.

“We know that staying active is one of the most effective ways of preventing falls and keeping our body stronger and steadier. Regular movement also supports physical and mental wellbeing, and helps people stay independent for longer.”
