Help Shape Research to Prevent Falls at Home

The HERON project, led by the Universities of Nottingham and Lincoln, is looking for older people, carers, family members, home care workers and others with lived experience to help shape research aimed at preventing falls among people receiving care and support at home.

No research experience is needed. Participants can share their experiences and ideas to help ensure the project is practical, relevant and accessible. Meetings will take place approximately every three months, and people with lived experience may be paid for their involvement. For more information, contact Vicky Thomson at

co-production@every-one.org.uk or visit www.every-one.org.uk/what-we-do/Heron/. See attached for further details. The first welcome meeting will take place online (details below), although people can also speak separately if they are unable to attend.

Meetings are expected to take place approximately every three months with members deciding where and when sessions will take place.

People sharing lived experience can be paid for their involvement and agreed expenses can be covered.
