There are a number of conditions that are associated with getting older, such as osteoporosis, arthritis and dementia. Ageing also comes with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.1 As a healthcare professional, you can help support customers by advising on preventative measures they can take to reduce their risk, and regular health checks they can carry out at home that might help them prevent or manage a condition.
This module will help you advise on:
- Lifestyle changes to help maintain fitness and independence
- Preventing and managing fractures and pain associated with osteoporosis
- Health checks that can be carried out at home.
