Dr Callaghan will discuss the methods used to undertake the review

Every week there are 6000 deaths in the UK as a result of accidents in or around the home as well as 2.7 million people a year requiring a hospital visit. Scottish Community Safety Network (SCSN) commissioned Dr Margaret Callaghan to carry out a rapid literature review to explore contributory factors and factors which helped to reduce them. This talk will discuss the methods used to undertake this review and summarise the most useful evidence; highlighting factors that lead to accidents and what can be done to prevent them.
