N2  - Falls are a common problem associated with old age. The UK has an increasingly ageing population, and the care of older people forms a high proportion of a GP's workload. Early identification of risk factors and prompt intervention are crucial in minimising the long-term morbidity and mortality associated with falls. This article aims to provide a structured approach to the assessment, management and prevention of falls in the community.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
