A fall is an unintentional change in position causing an individual to land at a lower level on an object, the floor and the ground other than as a consequence of sudden onset paralysis, epileptic seizure or overwhelming external force (Tinetti et al 1988). Box 2: South Central Ambulance Service (SCAS) 999 call to emergency services by person, family member, member of public, carer or community alarm service. Provide emergency care post-fall including treatment of any injuries; assist person from the ground. If the person does not require face to face immediate assistance, SCAS Clinical Support Desk (CSD) clinicians may give telephone advice or make onward referrals at the point of call without sending a face to face response. CSD clinicians can also offer clinical advice to operational ambulance clinicians, particularly with reference to care pathways available locally. Emergency Care Practitioners (ECP s) are able to offer extended assessment and management of injuries in the community (e.g. wound closure, treatment of minor infections etc). Person may be transported to hospital or remain in own accommodation and referrals made as appropriate: MKCHS Falls Service RAIT if urgent input required enabling the person to remain at home or have a short stay rehab bed in the community direct referral via telephone.

Clinical Report Form left with person to pass on. MKUCS Person can be transported to or advised to attend the Urgent Care Centre. If GP OOH advice is required this follows the same process as above, but via MKUCS (OOH call taking will be superseded by 111). ASCAT if increase in care required by direct telephone referral to the duty desk (usually only CSD clinicians or Emergency Care Practitioners will undertake such referrals). If a vulnerable adult ambulance clinicians will complete a SCAS form and submit to Social Services vulnerable adults via fax.
