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.
