What can we achieve now and later? (Priorities)

B. What can we achieve now and later? (Priorities)

Initially, it may seem too difficult to address falls and its prevention and healthy active ageing in its entirety. Consequently, it may be useful to:

• narrow the initial focus of implementation by prioritising and focusing efforts
• break down work into smaller, more manageable tasks
• work incrementally to ultimately create a comprehensive and sustainable response.

Depending on the results of local data and consultation, work may need to begin raising awareness and knowledge within the community that falls are preventable. After this is established, risk factors of falls can be targeted eg. after raising awareness, address a major risk factor such as physical inactivity.

It is recommended that you begin with easier achievements, early wins and something that people can easily see to be working, such as people attending an exercise classes.

Stay on Your Feet trial project awareness raising and information strategies

Visible success early on in your project/program will increase community support and make it easier to move on to more difficult and complex issues, such as managing multiple health conditions.
