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.
Other useful sources of information include:
The Royal Osteoporosis Society
(Free osteoporosis patient helpline 0808 800 0035)
In particular, we recommend the following ROS information leaflets to our patients:
Better bone health for everybody
(includes information on calcium and vitamin D)
About osteoporosis and weaker bones
(a general introduction to osteoporosis)
Getting your bones checked to keep them healthy
(includes information on fracture risk and DXA scanning)
