Low falls are one of the most common reasons older adults present to hospital. Almost all these patients will be living with frailty and comorbidity and need expert geriatrician input as well as injury management. The talk will focus on common injury patterns and management, as well as some of the ways the system needs to respond to the changing trauma demographics.
