Falls pick up service
Working with the Greater Manchester Urgent Primary Care Alliance, the NHS Falls Pick-Up Service helped over 270 people this winter, preventing hospital admissions and reducing pressure on emergency services. Trained operators assessed whether a Falls Pick-Up Responder, rather than an ambulance, would be the most appropriate support when 999 calls were received. The service also provided further support, carrying out wellbeing checks and a home check to spot trip hazards.
