Factors influencing fall prevention programmes across three regions of the UK: the challenge of implementing and spreading the Falls Management Exercise (FaME) programme in a complex landscape
The adoption, implementation and spread of FaME into community settings is complex and faces multiple health system challenges. For adoption and implementation to be facilitated, FaME programmes must demonstrate effectiveness and fit the local needs of those receiving the intervention. For spread to occur, influential decision-makers and funders must support wider programme rollout whilst also securing sufficient expert capacity to deliver the programme and ensure monitoring is in place to determine effectiveness of provision for older adults.
