It is thought that the trial will involve approximately 516 patients in total. A recent local pilot study of a smaller falls related project identified 70 patients in 9 months in a practice with a list of 17,000 patients. It is expected that the total population base from which patients will be identified will be 60,000. It is likely that the number required to participate will be identified over a one year period. Power calculations indicate that to provide a good chance of achieving a statistically significant result approximately 150 individuals will be needed in each of the three arms of the study.
