Nurses used reflection and after-action review to identify the small changes they could make to reduce risk and avoid normalisation of falls among inpatients

In April 2009, a patient at Brighton and Sussex University Hospitals NHS Trust had a fall. Data-wise, there is little unusual about that; falls are common. In hospitals and at home, there were more than 230,000 emergency admissions related to falls among people over 65 in England in 2019-20.
