Twenty Spanish seniors participated at this session. The presentation was done by Ms. Sarai Stevely from ICCWA – Injury Control Council of WA.

The 9 steps are Be Active, Manage your medicines, Manage your health, Improve your balance, Walk tall, Foot care and safe footwear, Regular eyesight checks and Identify, remove and report hazards. |
