Mixed methods study to understand the scale, impact and care trajectory for patients who have a long lie after a fall 

We are now open for recruitment for Work Packages 4B, 5 and 6!

We are keen to speak with different groups of individuals working across the care pathway of those people who cannot get up after a fall, as well as from patients and carers. Specifically:

●        Home care workers (any location) and Care Home Managers (nursing and/ or residential) from organisations based in the following regions: East of England, East Midlands, North East, Wales and West Midlands [WP4b].

●        Professionals working in three Ambulance Service trust regions - Yorkshire, East Midlands, South West, involved in the patient pathway, i.e. Urgent Community Response (UCR) teams, frailty or falls services (community and acute settings), emergency department, other relevant roles who encounter people who cannot get up after a fall [WP5].

●        Individuals (and carers) that have recently experienced a fall in the last 3 months and could not get up [WP6].
