VeiligheidNL develops knowledge, guidelines and approaches for fall prevention. Together, we use this knowledge to further strengthen fall prevention. In doing so, we focus on preventing falls. We also focus on supporting safe and independent mobility. Our attention is primarily directed towards older people.

Guideline on Fall Prevention in Podiatric Care

We put VeiligheidNL’s expertise into practice. We are developing a clear protocol for fall prevention in podiatry practice, so that all our podiatrists work in the same way. This helps us to screen people more effectively and provide targeted treatment.

Together, we have developed a national Fall Prevention Guideline for podiatry. We also share our knowledge and experience through training courses and collaboration with other organisations. This enables more and more healthcare professionals to work with the guideline. In this way, we ensure that knowledge is not just on paper, but is actually applied in practice. In this way, we help to prevent falls and enable people to move safely and independently.
