Ealing Falls Service – Ealing Community Partners (ECP)

Patients are provided with an initial visit by an Occupational Therapist or Physiotherapist to provide a multifactorial falls risk assessment. This may include: falls prevention interventions, strategies to reduce the fear of
falls, encourage activity and provide exercise support, exploring how to get up from the floor and how
to call for help.
If assessed by the team to be suitable for a group, the patient is invited to attend a Physiotherapy and
Occupational Therapy led MDT advice and exercise group. This runs for eight weeks at Ealing Day Treatment
Centre (E.D.T.C.) or other community locations. A consultant at a Falls Clinic is also available to support the
patient’s medical review.
