What to do if you fall
- If you’re injured, phone 999 and ask for an ambulance.
- If you are not injured or are not sure, call 111 and ask for assistance off of the floor
- use a community alarm, if you have one.
- use a phone to call a relative, friend or neighbour.
- ask your smart speaker, if you have one, to call someone who can help you.
- try shouting, or banging on a wall, to try to attract your neighbour’s attention.
Around one in three older people experience a fall at least once a year. Younger people can be at risk of falling too. The good news is there are many ways we can support you to reduce your risk of falls.
