Physio School Event - Tū Ora Otago Falls Network
Oct 13, 2026 2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
Kia ora koutou,
It is with much pleasure that I invite you all to attend an event at the Ōtākou Whakaihu Waka University School of Physiotherapy.
We are excited to look at potential collaborations together with Rotary and those working in Falls Prevention. The hope is this might add towards further efforts to bring public awareness to positive solutions to ageing strong and balanced, and perhaps impact health funding into supporting such efforts.
The agenda for the day will be as follows:
- Cup of Tea and whanaungatanga:
- Evidence based interventions: Reflections on successful approaches for keeping people strong, balanced and falls prevention as we all age: perspectives from community experts, health professionals and researchers on overview of evidence in this area.
- Insights from Rotary: David Barnes (Rotary Australia) discusses his experience working alongside the Australian Alliance of Falls Prevention and Health Promotion messaging in Australia.
- Interactive session: have fun trying out some of the tests and exercises that can be useful in promoting awareness and supporting falls prevention.
Looking forward to seeing you then.
