Tomorrow is the #Budget. @WesStreeting said one of his first acts in post would be to deliver universal fracture liaison services; we look forward to this happening through the Budget. It's now the time for action and delivering on his promised change. #BetterBones

We’ve announced our research grants round. Help us make the case for the world’s first national screening programme! It’ll prevent 8,000 hip fractures every year and save thousands of lives. theros.org.uk/latest-news/ne…

After 62 (and counting) consecutive weeks of campaigning in the Express, it would mean a huge amount to me - and a lot of other people - if Wes Streeting and Andrew Gwynne MP could spend just 5 minutes reading this comment (in which I’m upfront about “having badgered two governments,

It’s essential this month’s Planning Guidance to Trusts from Wes Streeting honours the Fracture Liaison Services promise, otherwise we’ll see 2,500 deaths from preventable hip fracture this year. Today’s The Observer carries an open letter from Kieran, a constituent, and Annette,

It’s uncomfortable to write, but we’re concerned the lack of progress and engagement means the osteoporosis promise is at risk, or worse. Without action in Planning Guidance we’ll see 2,500 needless deaths from hip fractures this year.⁦Wes Streeting⁩ telegraph.co.uk/news/2025/01/0…

Express: Over 1,100 people have died following hip fractures which could have been prevented, since Wes Streeting made his election promise on osteoporosis. Half of hip fracture sufferers had a previous minor fracture which should have flagged them as being at risk. Andrew Gwynne MP

Like us, frontline clinicians are perplexed as to why fracture liaison services haven't made it into the NHS planning guidance, despite commitments from Wes Streeting

Here, we raise concerns, with five other charities for women’s health, about the lack of progress at fostering Fracture Liaison Services. In the Lords, the Minister wouldn’t confirm target of “universal by 2030”. Pls show it’s real ⁦Wes Streeting⁩ thetimes.com/article/e79872…

We’ve certainly been worried in recent months, but we at Royal Osteoporosis Society are delighted to see Wes Streeting recommit clearly and unequivocally to rolling out universal fracture liaison services by 2030. Thanks, Wes! express.co.uk/news/politics/…

I wasn't expecting to see Ed Argar ask a question at Health Questions today about osteoporosis and fracture liaison services, but we're very grateful for him doing so and even more so to Wes Streeting for his hugely positive answer. Thanks to both! 🦴💪
