•Patients will be included if they are: (i) adults (>18 years); (ii) able to speak, read and understand English; (iii) medically stable; and (iv) willing and able to give informed consent.
•The inclusion criteria for clinicians are: (i) qualified registered nurses or allied health clinicians (physiotherapists, occupational therapists, podiatrists, dieticians, social workers) who are most likely involved in falls prevention; (ii) adults (>18 years); (iii) able to speak, read, write and understand English; and (iv) willing and able to give informed consent.
