Summary

Managing falls for care home residents can be challenging for care home staff who work in complex settings and with residents with complex needs. Our previous research has identified that care homes would like more ongoing support and learning to improve their confidence in managing falls. One such programme is being set up in Lincolnshire.

The Lincolnshire Care Association are setting up a falls ambassador programme designed to provide ongoing support and learning for care homes on falls management. Exploring what this programme involves, what topics are covered and identified by care homes and whether they feel more confident in managing falls will help other areas in setting up similar programmes.

This research will explore the key attributes of the Lincolnshire Falls ambassador programme and explore whether it supports care home staff to feel more confident in managing falls by asking staff about their confidence before and after, observing the topics that are covered in the group meetings and by interviewing members of the programme after it has been established.
