a fall every year. There are typically 9000 falls each
year in North East Lincolnshire, which will result in
600 fractures, including 100 hip fractures.
The Hope Street Specialist Service offers COPD sufferers
an eight week rehabilitation programme, as well as a range
of services to help them self-manage their condition through
education and exercise. They have also implemented the
‘Buddy system’, which pairs sufferers with
former service users, who act as expert patients to provide
additional support and encouragement.
The Service also provides a specialist falls clinic and
falls rehabilitation, as well as weekly Tai Chi and chair-based
exercise sessions in the local community. The Falls Prevention
Collaborative, a group of local volunteers, hold health
promotion events in group dwellings, surgeries, residential
and nursing homes and are working closely with the Highways
Department to make both the roads and pavements safer
for local people.
