Patient information and links
We provide regular osteoporosis patient information sessions for patients with osteoporosis or low bone mass who wish to find out more about their condition. These sessions are led by our osteoporosis nurse.
The aim of the sessions is to provide people with the information and tools to help them manage their condition effectively. Patients will also have the chance to meet other people with the same condition and share their experiences.
