A Consultant Orthogeriatrician and the Deputy Chief Nurse at East Surrey Hospital have shared some advice to help prevent falls.  

Dr Theodora Giokarini-Royal is clinical lead for falls, and has seen the impact a fall can have on people who come to the hospital. She advises that houses are decluttered and well lit, and stressed the importance of regular eye tests. A GP can arrange home visits from the community falls team who can give support to reduce the risk and incidence of falls.  

Paula Tucker, Deputy Chief Nurse at Surrey and Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust said that all falls can have a serious impact on physical and emotional health and confidence.

Lucy Ellie

The very talented Sussex Singer ‘Lucy Ellie’ chatted to Chrissy on her Christmas day show about her recent recording for the RSPCA TV AD showing at the moment.

The RSPCA explains:
This follows the story of ‘Woody’, the Christmas puppy for the RSPCA’s 2017 Christmas video. This cute, tearjerking film aims to highlight the kindness of the staff working at the RSPCA as they all contribute to saving animals’ lives. ‘Woody’ represents all the animals that the RSPCA cares for, from exotic pets, horses and small animals to dogs, cats, rabbits and everything in between.
