This conference will provide a step by step guide to implementing the multiple interventions that have been proven to reduce falls in your service. The conference will reflect on the April 2025 NICE Guideline update on Falls: assessment and prevention in older people and people 50 and over at higher risk,  and the recommendations from last years National Audit of Inpatient Falls addressing how we can ensure patients are as active as possible rather than reducing activity to reduce falls which leads to deconditioning. The event will include practical advice on implementing Multifactorial Assessment to Optimise Safe Activity (MASA) which has been developed by the Royal College of Physicians and recommended for use by the 2024 National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF), and provide advice on immediate post falls management. The conference will also update delegate on the implications of the Patient Safety Incident Response framework (PSIRF) for falls investigation.

The British Association of Day Surgery and Healthcare Conferences UK are pleased to announce this virtual conference focusing on Day Case Orthopaedic Trauma.

The GIRFT report on Orthopaedic trauma shows national variation on Orthopaedic trauma being delivered as a day case and has identified an opportunity to improve patient care and release the pressure on inpatient beds. Increasing the delivery of day case orthopaedic trauma surgery across the NHS is achievable and it is important to share learning so that day case surgery becomes the normal in units across the UK. Attendance at this conference will allow delegates to hear from some of the teams delivering high levels of Day Case Orthopaedic Trauma Surgery, both for upper and lower limb trauma. Join us to see how units across the UK have been leading the journey to successful day surgery orthopaedic trauma delivery.
