HOW IT BEGAN Within the INT Core Leadership Team We had been looking at our Population Health Management data (PHM) We knew within Woodbridge the data confirmed our thoughts. We had very high rates of frailty within a high elderly population. Looking closely, we could see that we had a higher rate of people having falls. PRESENTATION TITLE August 2024 10WHY LOOK A T FALLS ? • Falls and fractures, are both high volume and costly for health services. Local Population Health Management (PHM) data highlights that falls are the second most powerful predictor of acute emergency admission spend throughout Ipswich and East Suffolk (IES) and North East Essex (NEE). • Falls and fractures in older people are often preventable. ONS POPULATION PROJECTIONS SUGGESTTHAT POPULATION OF SUFFOLKWILL INCREASE BY NEARLY 7% OVER THE NEXT 20YEARS,BUTTHE INCREASE INTHE OLDER POPULATIONWILL BE MUCH GREATER.THE OVER 65 POPULATION IN SUFFOLK IS PROJECTEDTO INCREASE BY 21% BY 2030 AND 38% BY 2040.ALLTHINGS BEING EQUAL,WE COULD CRUDELY ESTIMATETHATTHE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCINGA FALL MAY INCREASE BYTHE SAME PERCENTAGE…. Suffolk Residents aged 65 years and older population Percentage change in Suffolk Residents aged 65 years 300,000 projections by age group and older population by age group from 2020 baseline 90% 250,000 47,588 54,493 80% 42,467 26,603 70% 200,000 46,912 21,765 28,540 60% n 38,570 38,967 i t 15,979 18,120 38,661 35,365 l 50% l 150,000 29,709 p p 25,159 45,175 52,543 P 40% P 45,868 41,468 i 30% 100,000 35,399 g 56,126 58,150 a 20% 49,947 44,823 48,486 C 50,000 10% 0% 45,984 49,478 57,122 59,034 54,490 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 -10% - 2020 2025 2030 2035 2040 -20% Year Year 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85-89 90+ 65-69 70-74 75-79 80-84 85-89 90+ …however,the number is likely to be much higher because the change in population for the very elderly, who are most likely to experience a fall,is proportionally greater. 2/11/20XX 12 WHA T WE KNEW  There were already pathways for frequent fallers, such as the FAB and GLINT clinics.  We had services like Active Lives conducting Strength and Balance classes within the local community.  We continued to see many patients on our therapy lists who had experienced falls but were too well to meet the criteria for the existing pathways.  We lacked early intervention for individuals who had their first fall, experienced a change in balance, or were becoming anxious about falling. W.H.A.TONE TEAM  We took our ideas to our ONE TEAM group.  We developed our ideas further and gained interest from our peers.  We built amazing relationships with our group. We had the right people in the right room! We showcased our project and gained an audienceTHE IDEA OF A ONE STOP SHOP WAS CREATED. We wanted to create an event, where people could come and speak with all the professionals, they needed all under one roof. To create a space where people could gain advice, be supported and get the guidance they needed to prevent further falls. Professionals we chose were: Physiotherapy/Occupational Therapy Nursing Mental Health Support Social Prescribing/Social Care Pharmacy Foot HealthWHA T HAPPENED NEXT…. We arranged further We kept in touch with our meetings to continue our We believed in it’s worth One Team cohort project We proposed theidea to our Nikki took the idea to our INT INT CLT and gained funding CLT meeting and ensuredour We made a proposal for for 12 months= £10K. We INT Sponsor was aware and funding. were hoping ot achieve at on board . least 1 event a month. W.H.A.TCHALLENGES We faced many challenges! - Foot care- seeking someone independent who could offer a treatment and show the importance of foot care. It wasn’t that easy. - Finding a pharmacist available for regular sessions. We wanted someone who could prescribe and most importantly de-prescribe! - Venues- we are a large area, we wanted to reach different communities - Securing funding. - Avoiding RED TAPE.
