Title: Technology-assisted implementation of FaME falls prevention programme among community-dwelling older adults
PhD summary
Falls Management Exercise (FaME) is an evidence-based falls prevention programme normally delivered face-to-face.
This project will investigate how/if FaME can be delivered digitally alongside a more extensive rollout of the programme, and what factors act as barriers/facilitators, based on the lived experience of older people garnered through PPIE.
This project will complement ongoing work assessing implementation of the FaME programme in Greater Manchester.
