I've posted a couple of times that I would let GNers know when a free course on falls prevention is running again on Futurelearn.
This started a couple of days ago but you can join any time. It is free but there is a pay option at the end if you want a certificate and future access to the course.
I did it free and I've noticed quite a few people go back and do it again next time it runs.

I did the Ageing Well: Falls course a couple of years back after a particularly bad fall from a height. I learned almost as much from chatting to the other participants as I did from the course, but was really fascinated at all of the ways falls can be prevented and the reassurances that everybody falls and it's not as much a natural result of ageing as we all might think.
