Falls are the most common accident occurring to patients in hospital, especially those undergoing rehabilitation. The types, causes, and consequences of such falls are discussed in relation to the patients' age and underlying condition with reference to 386 accidents occurring over a 5-month period in a hospital with 50% geriatric beds. Measures that may reduce the hazard to the patient and minimise the risk of accidents in hospital are suggested.
