National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF) is a clinically led, web-based audit of inpatient falls prevention care in acute hospitals in England and Wales. NAIF aims to improve inpatient falls prevention through audit and quality improvement.
The National Audit of Inpatient Falls (NAIF) has collaborated with partners to produce a new vision assessment tool which enables ward staff to quickly assess a patient’s eyesight in order to help prevent them falling or tripping while in hospital.
Collaboration is key to improvement. As such, we have created a platform for services to share improvement stories.
The information sheet contains the details of the audit methodology. The audit proforma contains the dataset. To see how the audit dataset is linked to NICE Guidance please view the mapping document.
FLS-DB has created a series of videos including support sessions and exchanges for service improvement.
As part of an ongoing quality improvement plan for the NHS England and Wales, the Fracture Liaison Service Database (FLS-DB) is now live and collecting information on fragility fractures diagnosed from 1 January 2016.
FLS-DB has created a series of videos including support sessions and exchanges for services.
The FallSafe and CareFall e-learning modules have been developed for nurses and junior doctors, but are relevant for all healthcare professionals interested in falls prevention.
This is the ninth annual report for the Fracture Liaison Service Database (FLS-DB).‘Steps to fracture liaison service effectiveness: importance of treatment recommendations’ provides national benchmark performance for the care of people with fragility fractures in 2024.
All Fracture Liaison Services should aim to have patients involved in the development and improvement of their FLS. With their lived experience, patients and caregivers can provide guidance to FLSs to improve outcomes and better care to patients.
