A major part of your role as a physiotherapist is educating patients. Depending on the population of patients you will be working with, it will likely be important for you to be knowledgeable about fall prevention and to be able to educate others (patients and their caregivers) on the risks and prevention techniques. Discuss your experience working with fall-risk patients and some of the ways you would educate them on this topic.

"I have a lot of experience conducting fall risk assessments in patients' homes and educating them on potential areas of hazard. In these assessments, I'm helping identify and remove clutter, excess furniture, and throw rugs that could be trip hazards. I'm also looking for opportunities to increase the patient's safety, like installing handrails in the shower, on staircases, and at the bedside. If a patient has stability issues or limited mobility, I also make recommendations for bedside commodes, shower benches, raised toilet seats, and electric recliners and teach them proper body mechanics for each assistive device. Lighting is also important throughout the house, so I help identify areas where nightlights or other improvements can be made to ensure safety."
