Webinar “Mum’s terrified of falling, what can I do?”

Half of people over 80 years old will have at least one fall a year.

And 2/3rds of those people will fall again within 12 months.

The statistics are scary, so if you or your loved one are afraid of falling and the negative impact it can have on health and wellbeing then this Sweet Pea Care webinar is for you.

We’re joined by fall prevention expert, Dr Tom Adler, Founder of Bide, a revolutionary yet simple fall prevention device that can help reduce nighttime falls.

Tom will share his personal story of caring for and being a GP for over 30 years, witnessing first-hand the devastating frequency of fall-related injuries and the effect on the individual and their families. We’ll discuss practical tips to prevent falls and why we should focus on prevention rather than detection, plus answer your most pressing questions.

Join us for advice and tips on how to enable your loved one to live well at home and reduce the risk of falls.

Dr Tom Adler is the Founder of Bide (www.getbide.com), a revolutionary yet simple fall prevention device that can help reduce nighttime falls. After realizing that most technology out there is designed to detect falls, rather than prevent them, Tom identified an opportunity to help support vulnerable and frail older adults who were at risk of falling at night.

Many falls occur during the night when older people can feel unsettled or disorientated; this sparked the idea for Bide, a unique fall prevention device, discrete enough to sit on a bedside table.
