Who Cares about Falls?   RITA Does!
Zero Falls in 22 days

Update: Committed to the ongoing successes at North Cumbria University Hospitals.  We were invited to meet with the Teams at Cumberland Infirmary where we met   Liz Klein (Head of Nursing clinical standards), Mairi Clarke – Falls Prevention Lead (Member of National Falls Practitioner Working GroupThey were delighted to advise that during the period Nov – Dec 2018, they had 22 consecutive days without falls, which they advised had been unheard of and felt it was something that should be published. “We are very proud of this”!   The Trust have been able to report the usage of the ‘RITA’ units on the wards and measure against their mandatory falls reporting.
