We seek to engage with Ministers, parliamentarians and officials from the UK Government and devolved administrations, in addition to the NHS and a range of non-departmental bodies, with the aim of influencing five key areas:

• The management of falls, fragility fractures and osteoporosis: We want a Fracture Liaison Service linked to every hospital that receives fragility fractures in the UK, to ensure that every fragility fracture patient gets the treatment and care they need.
• Clinical guidance: We want coherent clinical guidance for the prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care of falls, fragility fractures and osteoporosis.
• Assessing clinical performance: We want the quality and systems of care for people at risk of falls, and people with, or at risk of, fragility fractures and osteoporosis to be measured on a regular basis, to stimulate best practice.
• The indicators that influence primary care: We want healthcare professionals working in primary care to be offered meaningful financial incentives to find and treat those at a high risk of fragility fracture.
• Public awareness and education: We want measures to improve understanding of bone health amongst individuals of all ages, with positive messages communicated in schools.

The charity supports and arranges events for the All-Party Parliamentary Osteoporosis Group (or ‘APPOG’) at Westminster.
