Prof Jacqueline Close AO, kicking off NSW Fall Prevention & Healthy Ageing Network #FallsForum24 with a review of the Network’s history in the context of a growing evidence base. Much to celebrate & much more to be done in the context of financial constraint, changing priorities, no National or NSW strategy.
