Full description:
In this project we want to talk to people aged 65+ or their family members who went to A&E with injuries after a fall. Our current tools to find those with serious injuries do not work well in older people, and we want to design a new tool. By sharing your experiences, we can ensure the study deals with the issues important to you.
We will also talk about our planned study and may change it based on your opinions. If funded there will be further opportunities on the project.
