RightCare Pathway: Falls and Fragility Fractures

Summary

The Falls and Fragility Fractures Pathway defines the core components of an optimal service for people who have suffered a fall or are at risk of falls and fragility fractures.

The Falls and Fragility Fractures Pathway has been developed in collaboration with the National Clinical Director for Musculoskeletal Services, Peter Kay, Public Health England (PHE), the National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) and a range of other stakeholders from across the health and care system. The pathway defines the key interlocking components for an optimal system for prevention and management and the priority higher value interventions that systems should focus on to address variation, improve outcomes, reduce cost and contribute toward a sustainable NHS.
