Chronic Illnesses: Health Services

Question

To ask His Majesty's Government what they have done to ensure parity in patient education and empowerment resources between osteoporosis and other long-term conditions.

Answer

The National Health Service website, along with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence and the Royal Osteoporosis Society, has information and resources for patients to learn about osteoporosis, including advice on how to manage osteoporosis and advice on lifestyle changes that patients can make to improve their bone health and reduce their risk of fractures. The Royal College of General Practitioners’ e-learning module on the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis also provides suggested resources that clinicians can use with their patients.
