Osteoporotic fractures can lead to loss of independence, depression and increased mortality risk. Osteoporosis remains underdiagnosed and undertreated. This activity provides a quick overview on the diagnostic criteria for osteoporosis and the criteria for assessing fracture risk and selecting the appropriate long-term treatment pathways to optimise patient care.

This activity comprises a short educational video, followed by a reflective activity. Participants must complete both components to qualify for 30 minutes of Reviewing Performance (RP) Hours.
