  • Simone Tam and Faye Baker
    Spreading awareness of fall risk factors 18 November 2024 Throughout November, nursing, physiotherapy and occupational therapy staff across Sir Charles Gairdner and Osborne Park Hospitals (OPH) are championing the 2024 No Falls November campaign and spreading awareness about fall risk factors for older adults.
