Are you checking lying and standing blood pressures as part of your assessment of older people? Nice reminder here of how to do this accurately ⬇️⬇️⬇️ #bestpractice #orthostatichypotension #fallsprevention

In Ireland, physiotherapists are not legally permitted to refer patients for X-rays, as they are not one of the health professionals included in the legislation governing referrals for these investigations
