New Falls and Bone Health service in Brent

There’s a new Brent Falls and Bone Health service available across the borough. The service is commissioned by Brent CCG and run by Central London Community Healthcare NHS Trust (CLCH).
It supports people at risk of falls by helping them to maintain active, independent lives.
The new service went live on 3 April 2017 and focuses on:

• the cause of a patient’s falls,
• assessing their home environment,
• developing an action plan to help prevent falls in the future and
• group exercise and education classes.

The team can be contacted by emailing clcht.BrentFalls@nhs.net or by phoning 0300 555 8889. Service and referral details are also available on the CLCH website.
