Your input is needed on a review considering the effectiveness of steps to reduce the number/risk of falls in hospital with older people

Skills / interests: Patient and public input

Would you be interested in helping us with this article focused on steps to reduce the number/risk of falls in hospital with older people?

 

I am looking for a consumer who would be willing to peer review this Cochrane systematic review “Interventions for preventing falls in older people in hospitals”

 

Cochrane considers a consumer to be a person with experience of the condition (in this case, falls in older people in hospitals), either as a patient or as a carer/family member of a patient. From a consumer perspective, we are interested if the language of the review, especially the language used in the Plain Language Summary, is accessible and feels relevant such that it will be helpful to patients and carers with healthcare decision making. 

 

While you are welcome to provide feedback on any aspect of the review, you can focus your attention on the summary sections. Our aim is for this to be a manageable task, that does not overburden consumer reviewers.

 

Thank you in advance for considering!
