Osteoporosis is not just for the elderly. Craig Jones Royal Osteoporosis Society mol.im/a/14768755

The prevalence of MSK conditions like osteoporosis in today’s sickness data from the ONS shows how an early diagnosis will boost the labour market and economy. Fingers crossed for Wes Streeting 10 Year Plan.

All cross-party support for the Fracture Liaison Service roll-out is welcome, thanks Sir Jeremy Hunt MP : “What I would say to Wes Streeting is… preventing fractures is one of the cost-effective ways of keeping older people out of hospital”. express.co.uk/news/politics/…

Sunday Express Better Bones week 73: Lessons for us in the UK, as Japan doubles the number of Fracture Liaison Services in just three years, while New Zealand reaches 99% coverage. We want to work with Wes Streeting to get England there too. express.co.uk/news/uk/206570…

New Zealand is also worth a look by Department of Health and Social Care and Wes Streeting team, at 99pc FLS coverage, and Japan who have doubled FLS in two years.

Great to see our CEO, Craig Jones, speaking with WalfinchCHK's Amrit Dhaliwal about the realities of osteoporosis- and why better awareness and support matter more than ever. 🎧 Listen now: bit.ly/4kEBAZY youtu.be/JiWeKAaPo_g?si… #Osteoporosis #BoneHealth

Important comment here from the brilliant Ruth Sunderland about the government’s forthcoming 10 Year Plan Royal Osteoporosis Society

It would be hugely appreciated by people with osteoporosis if Wes Streeting 10 Year Plan contained an implementation plan for the Fracture Liaison Services commitment. Ruth Sunderland writes here about the labour market benefits of action. 🦴 thisismoney.co.uk/money/markets/…

Sunday Express Better Bones campaign week 75: On our second anniversary, people with osteoporosis write an emotional letter to Wes Streeting asking him to implement his fracture commitment in the 10 Year Plan for the NHS - "we know Mr Streeting does not shy away from bold reform"


If Wes Streeting has two minutes before finalising his 10 Year Plan to listen to what our Pink Ladies say below we’d be very grateful.

A message from our Volunteer Advocates to Wes Streeting as his important 10 Year Plan begins to emerge.

Thanks Wes Streeting and congratulations on this 10 year plan. We look forward to working with you on the fracture roll-out.


In Wales, an ageing population means rising, often devastating, fragility fractures. But our Adopt, Spread & Embed innovator, Dr. Inderpal Singh (Inder Singh), is changing that with the Welsh Fracture Liaison Service (FLS).
