About this trial
APN-FIT is a hybrid type 1 clinical trial comparing the effect of an APN delivered fall prevention programme with standard care in non-frail patients. All participants will receive a full geriatric assessment at enrolment and, on a voluntary basis, physical activity programmes during the 12-month period. Falls occurring during the study will be recorded at 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 months after enrolment. An ancillary study will specifically examine implementation outcomes of the tested intervention.
