What to do if you fall

If you are not hurt and you’re in a safe place, try to get up. The best way to do this is by rolling onto your hands and knees, then holding on to something that is stable like a bed or armchair. Try not to get up too quickly.
Even if you are not injured it’s a good idea to speak to your GP so you can discuss ways to reduce your risk of falling in the future. Having a personal alarm may be a good idea.
If you are unable to get up or you’re injured, you could bang on the wall or floor to try to attract the attention of neighbours or passers-by. Many areas have a falls response service which you can call if you don’t have serious injuries.
While waiting for help to arrive, try to keep warm by covering yourself with something in reach like a coat, blanket or rug. If you can and it’s not too painful, try to keep moving which will keep you warm and maintain blood flow.

Tips on what shoes to wear and how to walk

Problems with your feet and footwear can stop you getting out and about. These tips can help you feel steadier:

• Report problems with your feet to your doctor or practice nurse
• Keep your toenails short
• Always wear shoes, sandals or slippers. Don’t walk indoors with bare feet, tights or socks
• Wear shoes that fit well with high sides and low heels
• Don’t wear high heels
• Make sure your clothing doesn’t trail on the floor.
• The best way to walk to prevent falls:
• Keep your head up, look forward and not at the ground
• Your neck, shoulders and back are relaxed, not stiffly upright
• Swing your arms freely with a slight bend in your elbows.
• Keep your stomach muscles slightly tightened, and your back straight
• Walk smoothly, rolling your foot from heel to toe.
