Happy Pancake Day from the FLS!
Happy Pancake Day from the FLS!
We've just taken part in the RCP Collaborative conference call for an update about our improvement collaborative. We presented up to date data which shows our changes have made a sustainable positive change to the service... Well done @ElhtLiaison!
Women can lose up to 20% of their bone density following the menopause. Maintain bone strength by: 🦴Staying active - do regular weight bearing exercise 🦴Have a healthy diet and weight 🦴Keep alcohol intake below 14 units per week #MondayMotivation ow.ly/B7Db50xAR8O
A drop in blood pressure can greatly increase the risk of falling. The @RCP_FFFAP have produced a A brief guide for clinical staff on measuring lying and standing blood pressure: ow.ly/6u2S50wet9a #FallsPrevention
This week the FLS delivered a talk at the care home forum, promoting the service and explaining the importance of bone sparing treatments and to ensure they are taken correctly! #raisingawareness #osteoporosis #bonehealth @ELHT_NHS
We are so excited to welcome Northern Ireland into the FLS-DB this year! Looking forward to working together to help patients with fragility fractures!
Ireland needs to step up the fight in the care and prevention of fragility fractures. There is good published evidence to show the cost savings that can be made with a Fracture Liaison Service
Brilliant first month of 2020 for East Lancs FLS with a total of 55 Dexa scans requested! The bone mineral density (Dexa) scan is a simple low-radiation scan which can detect #osteoporosis. Reducing fracture risk and promoting #bonehealth every day! @ELHT_NHS
If you missed our recent BoneCast #webinar on #calcium and #vitaminD supplementation with Prof. Nicholas Harvey - now’s your chance to view the video recording! bit.ly/2RsCMEL
Patients with an East Lancs GP can be referred via the ICE System to our service! #bonehealth

Top tip from the FLS: What is Osteoporosis? This term means ‘porous bones’, meaning they are less dense and may be more likely to break with a simple fall, often age related. The FLS aims to reduce this fracture risk by assessing patient’s #bonehealth! @ELHT_NHS
Fantastic work taking fls beyond measurement. Favourite figures are on page 13 and map on page 12 from rafa.
Today our Fracture Liaison Service Database annual report has been published! Thank you to all the teams that work tirelessly and input the data! Read the report here: rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outpu… #SecondaryFracturePrevention #FragilityFracture #Osteoporosis
The @RCP_FFFAP has released its annual Fracture Liaison Service database report today, highlighting the need to better support patients as they move from hospital care back to their GP. Read more: bit.ly/36JyPRq #NHFD #osteoporosis #FLS #ThursdayThoughts
