Know Your Medicines Program
This program has been devised by the National Prescribing Service (NPS) to enable consumers to better their knowledge on the use of any medications they may be using. There are several segments that can be presented as short programs or the whole program can be presented (approx 1 hr). We have trained leaders who can come to your organisation and run these sessions for you. We will from time to time run this program at community sessions.
For more information please contact us or visit the NPS website http://www.nps.org.au/
Falls Prevention Program
Our falls prevention program is suitable for small to large groups of people, we would be happy to come to your organisations meeting place and run this session for you.
Falls for older people have a special significance, they often result in broken bones and in extreme cases can result in death. Being aware of the potential risks that contribute to sustaining a fall is a good first step, its not that we as individuals don't know about them its because we are so familiar with our own homes and local environments and we have become very complacent to the risks involved.
The sessions are designed to cover all aspects of preventing falls in older people and like our other programs they are an interactive information session. We have several sessions available each covering different areas of the topic. If you would like to book a session or obtain more information please phone or call in or use the contact us page on this website. We also run the sessions from time to time at the centre for the public check our program of events.
