SUMMARY:GP Webinar: Preventing falls in dementia – a primary care imperative
DESCRIPTION:Date\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOrganiser\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of Dementia Action Week 2025\, the South East Public Health Unit (SEPHU)\, in collaboration with the South Eastern Melbourne Primary Health Network (SEMPHN)\, invites primary care professionals to a vital webinar focused on reducing falls in people living with dementia.  \n\n\n\nFalls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalisations and deaths in Australia. For people living with dementia\, the risk is even more pronounced: \n\n\n\n\nThey are at least twice as likely to fall as those without dementia.\n\n\n\nThey are 2 to 3 times more likely to experience adverse events such as further falls and delirium during hospitalisation.\n\n\n\nFollowing a first hospitalised fall\, about 2 in 5 people living with dementia in the community enter residential aged care.\n\n\n\n9 in 10 people living with dementia in residential aged care who are hospitalised due to a fall sustain an injury.\n\n\n\n\nThese statistics highlight the urgent need for targeted prevention strategies—especially in primary care settings where early intervention can make a significant difference. \n\n\n\nWho should attend?\n\n\n\nThis session is for nurses\, general practice staff\, allied health or anyone working in primary care.

As a geriatrician\, she has provided medical assessment and care to older people wherever they be\, including in their homes\, in residential aged care facilities\, and in the hospital and wider healthcare systems.Mandy also values her 20-year experience as an aged care board member\, as it has provided her considerable insights into how the aged care sector operates\, how it conducts itself\, and how\, in her new role as Chief Clinical Advisor\, she could best support the sector to improve the health\, wellbeing\, and quality of life of older people receiving aged care services. \n\n\n\nKim Ford is an experienced health executive and registered nurse with over 40 years in the healthcare sector\, specialising in aged care reform\, telehealth innovation\, and system-wide service transformation.
