Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a health condition that weakens bones, making them fragile and more likely to break.
It develops slowly over several years and is often only diagnosed when a fall or sudden impact causes a bone to break.
Helping our patients live more independently
Our clinical teams work closely with our osteoporosis patients and their families, with clinical treatments and holistic support.
We are proud that 90% of our patients are trained to be independent with their self-injection within 5 days of receiving their medication.
We know it impacts quality of life
Osteoporosis significantly impacts the quality of life for affected individuals and their families, who often provide care and support to osteoporosis patients
- Osteoporosis-related fractures cause pain, physical limitations, and reduced independence
- Spinal fractures can lead to a characteristic stooped posture, affecting daily activities
- Long-term pain is common due to broken bones in the spine
- Witnessing a loved one’s pain and limitations can be emotionally challenging
- Family members may need to adapt their living arrangements to accommodate the patient’s needs
The impact on the NHS
Osteoporosis-related fractures impose a significant burden on the NHS .
Hospital admissions, surgeries, and rehabilitation services are required for fracture management.
Our clinical services allow patients to train to self-administer daily injections to provide reduced risks of fractures and improve their quality of life.
