2. The National Osteoporosis Society
• The only UK-wide charity dedicated to
improving the prevention, diagnosis and
treatment of osteoporosis
• Vision:
A future without fragility fractures
• Mission:
Working together for a brighter future for people
with or at risk of osteoporosis and fragility
fractures across the UK, putting an end to
preventable broken bones and helping people to
live without pain and disability
8. 8
• 300,000 fragility fractures a year
• 85,000 unplanned hospital
admissions for hip fractures alone
• 1.8 million hospital bed days
• 1 in 4 people die within a year of
suffering a hip fracture
• 33% become totally dependent
• £1.9 billion in hospital costs
What is the impact of fractures?
12. 12
Fracture Liaison Service (FLS)
• An FLS is a proven model for fragility fracture
prevention
• 50% of hip fracture patients have had a prior
fragility fracture
• All patients > 50 years who fracture are targeted
• Where treatment is initiated
• Up to 25% hip fractures avoided in future

13. National Osteoporosis Society
Priorities and Plans for 2016
Aim 1:
Every person aged over 50 who breaks a
bone is assessed for osteoporosis and
managed appropriately.
Priority 1:
Extend coverage of Fracture Liaison Services
Priority 2:
Improve quality of Fracture Liaison Services
and osteoporosis services
14. Key recommendations
• People with a history of fragility fractures over 50 years should be offered DXA
scanning to evaluate the need for anti-osteoporosis therapy
• Fracture-risk assessment should be carried out, preferably using QFracture,
prior to DXA in patients with clinical risk factors and in whom treatment is to be
considered
• Measurement of BMD by DXA at hip and spine should be carried out following
fracture risk assessment in patients in whom treatment is considered.
• Repeat DXA after 3 years may be considered to assess response to treatment.
• Patients over 50 with a fragility fracture should be managed within a formal
integrated system of care that incorporates a fracture liaison service.
SIGN 142
Management of osteoporosis and the
prevention of fragility fractures
15. 15
Definition of a Fracture Liaison Service
An FLS systematically identifies, treats and
refers to appropriate services all eligible
patients over 50 within a local population who
have suffered fragility fractures, with the aim
of reducing their risk of subsequent fractures.
16. 16
What are the benefits of an FLS?
An FLS:
• Improves patients’ quality of care
• Provides targeted intervention
• Enables appropriate prescribing
• Prevents pain/suffering
• Reduces hospital admissions
• Reduces hospital and social costs
FLS’s are proven to be cost effective.
17. 17
Further benefits
• Timely assessment for bone health/falls
• Appropriate referral to DXA
• Long-term reduction in fragility fractures
• Prevention of further falls and fractures
• Improves adherence to prescribed medication
• Improves quality of life, health & well-being
• Potential reduction in mortality rate
18. What is the Impact of an FLS?
• Reduction in hip fractures
• Hip fractures cost £1.9 billion/year
• For every 1000 FLS patients assessed in
FLS
• 18 fractures are prevented
• 11 of those are hip fractures

27. UK FLS Clinical Standards
The 5IQ approach describes the key objectives of an FLS:
• Identification
• Investigation
• Information
• Intervention
• Integration
• Quality www.nos.org.uk/fls
28. 28
No. Standard Rationale
1 IDENTIFICATION
All patients aged 50 years and over with a new fragility
fracture or a newly reported vertebral fracture will be
systematically and proactively identified.
Patients who have sustained a fracture are at
higher relative risk of fracture than those who have
not. Targeted interventions in this population will
have most impact on reducing the future fracture
burden.
2 INVESTIGATION
Patients will have a bone health assessment and their
need for a comprehensive falls risk assessment will be
evaluated within 3 months of the incident fracture.
Assessments need to be conducted promptly as the
risk of having a further fracture is increased in the
first year.
3 INFORMATION
All patients identified will be offered written information
about bone health, lifestyle, nutrition and bone-
protection treatments.
Anyone aged over 50 years who has had a fracture
needs to be aware of the steps they can take to
maintain healthy bones and prevent further
fractures.
4 INTERVENTION
Patients at increased risk of further fracture will be
offered appropriate bone-protection treatments.
Appropriately targeted interventions reduce future
risk of fracture.
5 INTERVENTION
Patients at increased risk of further falls will be referred
for appropriate assessment or interventions to reduce
future falls.
Evidence-based falls interventions are effective at
reducing risk of falls.
FLS Clinical Standards - summary
29. 29
No. Standard Rationale
6 INTEGRATION
Management plans will be patient-centred and
integrated between primary and secondary care.
Effective communication is essential to ensure that
long-term management is achieved and that
patients are supported to engage with
recommended interventions.
7 INTEGRATION
Patients who are recommended drug therapy to reduce
risk of fracture will be reviewed within 4 months of
initiation to ensure appropriate treatment has been
started, and every 12 months to monitor adherence
with the treatment plan.
Treatments must be taken consistently and
appropriately over many years to be effective.
Follow-up allows early identification of issues (side
effects, compliance) with prescribed medications,
reinforces need to take treatments and supports
long-term concordance.
8 QUALITY
Core clinical data from patients identified by the FLS
will be recorded on a database. Regular audit and
patient experience measures will be performed
Data recorded will allow the FLS to audit and
improve the service they provide ensuring that
high standards are met and maintained.
9 QUALITY
The FLS team will have appropriate competencies in
secondary fracture prevention and will maintain
relevant Continued Professional Development (CPD).
All staff need appropriate knowledge, skills and
experience to fulfil their role. Engagement with
relevant CPD activities ensures that these are up to
date.
10 QUALITY
The FLS should engage in a regular peer-review
process of quality assurance.
Clinical peer review facilitates quality standard
assurance, equitable access to services, and
provides a means of benchmarking and sharing
best practice.

• Transforms post fracture care – providing a
holistic approach to care – thinking long term
• Equal opportunity to all patients within catchment
area - not postcode driven (not relying on GP’s or
Orthopaedic surgeons to refer pts)
• Drug treatments/lifestyle advice are
recommended appropriately dependent on scan
result
• NOS are here to help!

Editor's Notes
Focus is provision of FLS.
I want to share our story and
What is the problem? And it’s a big problem- bigger than you think
Can you quantify the problem in your country, region, locality? Do you know your population figures – for hip fracture & fragility fractures.
More than breast cancer
Men more than stroke and MI together
Powers of persuasion – create your argument/case for support
This is more bed days than heart attack and stroke combined
Currently rising to £2.2 billion by 2025
So the first fracture does not lead to a hip or vertebral fracture.
We are fairly confident we know the answer
*Within 3 years of pharmacotherapy – reduction in incidence of re-fracture by 20-70%
So when it came to developing our core aims as a charity – FLS fitted in rather well

Supporting New Service Development – assisting in the implementation of new services where no FLS exists
Supporting Quality Improvement – providing peer support with regards efficiency of existing services; and quality improvement through commissioning of additional staff/resources for an existing service
Additional sites in contact – contact made with potential FLS sites but no measurable service implementation or quality improvement work has yet taken place
Number of services commissioned – sites/areas where new FLS have been successfully commissioned or existing services have been enhanced through successful commissioning. NB these are not in addition to the totals above; they represent a commissioning/business case success but sites will continue to require on-going support as the new services come ‘on-line’
Some hospitals only have a part service (just a slice a cake )
Others have a very full service which covers all aspects of the NOS standards ( icing and cherries on top on their cake)
Others somewhere in the middle
Jo- Equity and Quality of FLS is essential in order to achieve the potential benefits of preventing up to ¼ of future Hip #

Identification - finding patients with new, low trauma #’s at the time of # who will benefit from investigation; (potential to extend scope to include identification of patients with prior #)
Investigation – incorporating fracture risk FRAX with DXA to determine modifiable risk that merit intervention; also includes tests to identify underlying causes of secondary osteoporosis including bloods and assessment of falls
Information – ensure the patient knows enough about the condition with leaflets etc. to maintain healthy and prevent fractures
Intervention - written Information educating patients about falls and fracture risk
Intervention – ensure patients are treated for bone health and referred for detailed falls assessment as appropriate
Integration - effective communication sharing patient specific management plans with the patient and other health professionals to ensure long term treatment concordance
Integration – FOLLOW UP AT 4/12 AND 12/12 so treatment is taken consistently and appropriately over given years.
Quality - optimising the delivery and organisation of the service through data collection and audit
Quality – ensuring nurse/coordinator has appropriate competencies to deliver the service FPP
Peer review - by another team to ensure standards
WC
In UK Gap Analysis is structured questioning with key clinical staff to establish degree of existing service against the Standards
Informative – information for the Charity; highlights the Standards to services unaware of them
Detailed – precise questioning, into all aspects of sub-categories within main Standards
Specific – to the site involved; inclusive of associated services
Targeted – goals/actions following consultation in line with what service wants to achieve
Constructive – never critical; suggestive
In the Clinical Setting we provide GAP analysis against our Standards
Compare the best practices with the processes currently in place in your organisation.
Determine the “gaps” between your organization’s practices and the identified best practices.
Select the best practices you will implement in your organisation.
Reviewing Identification how and where and How Many ? /All over 50 years
Investigations - What ? Assessments & Time Scales ?
Information - What ?
Intergration - Communication between Patient and other Healthcare professionals & follow up
Quality – Data recording and Audits
Professional training
Peer review
This is beneficial throughout the service development and future improvement
Welcomed by all our professionals

Secondary/primary models -decide
Pathway when to refer falls ?ED in a week urgent medical review , or if 1 black out but was l2 months ago medical assessment but not today.
If tripping at home send ot/pt/generic worker around to house , consider foot wear, eye test for vision and depth perception Balance or exercise classes for ongoing mobility.
Who responsible for bloods? Coordinator, GP clarity as to who is dealing with deplete vit d or high urea
Complex cases – in your pathway have an arm for complex patients , who is seeing them , who can refer on, or does this have to go back to the gp ? referring them following them up.
Could be nurse/coordinator referral and copying in endocrinology but gp needs to do the referral form
Polypharmacy – if identified who is going to address this, ortho geri clinic, gp , pharmacist etc etc be explicit
SS
Other patients – consultant walk past k wiring patient in next bed to a hip fracture
Radiology – consider a weekly vertebral fracture search if radiologists are reporting in a similar way
Incidental #’s where patient is admitted for a copd and found to have a spinal fracture on x ray needs including or referral made to FLS
Which ever pathway , it needs to follow 5IQ and NOS 10 standards

Green = new services being developed from scratch (nothing)
Blue = contact only at this stage
Purple = quality improvement of service through peer support
Yellow = quality improvement of service through additional commissioning
The NOS are committed to the standards and encourage the engagement of all the stakeholders to achieve the Standards.
Some localities can include missing standards within their organisation straight away; however others may need to address service development more fully through a business case
First step - Organise for a big meeting with interested parties
NOS offers a Comprehensive Peer review of FL and Metabolic Bone services,
This provides Quality assessment and assurance of clinical care to improve performance, based around professional credibility.
It addresses areas

Updated 13/1/16 (FLS Benefits Calculator v2.8)
Bradford population includes Bradford City CCG and Bradford District CCG
East Sussex population includes Hastings & Rother CCG, and Eastbourne Hailsham & Seaford CCG
Epsom is based at St Helier Hospital, population includes Merton and Sutton CCGs combined
Salisbury population is 30% that of Wiltshire CCG
Stoke population shown here is that of N.Staffs CCG (since that was the CCG that was found through peer review not to be commissioning the service. As a result of peer review, N.Staffs CCG approved funding of the service too).
