Think yellow for falls

July 08, 2024

Falls are the 2nd leading cause of unintentional injury and death worldwide. Being hospitalised puts patients at further risk for falls due to illness and the newness of a hospital environment.
To help identify patients who are at risk and help reduce incidents of falls at LNWH NHS Trust, we funded the “Think Yellow” initiative, which involves giving yellow blankets and socks to patients so staff can easily identify and monitor them.
