Osteoporosis FAQ; other pathways

To support the assessment and management of osteoporosis in adult patients within primary care, an FAQ has been developed and posted on Specialist Link.

Co-developed by specialty and primary care, it is intended for complex or non-urgent cases and can be used in conjunction with Specialist Link tele-advice services, such as endocrinology.

Topics covered include:

• Restarting medications
• Fractures
• Identifying and treating underlying risks
