As part of an ongoing quality improvement plan for the NHS England and Wales, the Fracture Liaison Service Database (FLS-DB) is now live and collecting information on fragility fractures diagnosed from 1 January 2016.

The FallSafe and CareFall e-learning modules have been developed for nurses and junior doctors, but are relevant for all healthcare professionals interested in falls prevention.
All Fracture Liaison Services should aim to have patients involved in the development and improvement of their FLS. With their lived experience, patients and caregivers can provide guidance to FLSs to improve outcomes and better care to patients.
People with low bone density and a tendency to fall are at risk of a fragility fracture and those who sustain one such fracture are at high risk of another. There are approved treatments for low bone density and interventions to reduce falls risk, but they are not offered to most patients who should be on treatment.
