Care homes needed for new research into managing falls.

Academics conducting a £1.8 million research project are recruiting care homes to test a new falls procedure. Funded by the National Institute for Health Research, the three-year project involves trials of a new training package and guidelines designed by the University of Nottingham's Division of Rehabilitation and Ageing. The trials are taking place at residential and care homes in the East Midlands, West Yorkshire and East Anglia.
