Promoting Well Being

Within the Southern Health Board area data was collected from Accident and Emergency Department and Minor Injury Units over a 4 week period in April-May 2006. This showed that on average 23 people a week are attending A&E departments and MIUs as a result of an accident on a trampoline.

Using information collected from this exercise the Southern Area Health Promotion Department has produced a new poster warning of the types of behaviours that lead to accidents. For further information contact Nina Daly, Accident Prevention Officer, Tel:  028 3741 2424
