Fracture Liaison Service

A Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) is a coordinated healthcare program designed to identify and support patients who have experienced a fracture, typically due to weakened bones from osteoporosis. The goal is to assess the causes of the fracture, provide education, and ensure appropriate treatment to prevent future fractures. FLS involves specialists working together to evaluate bone health, recommend lifestyle changes, medications, and follow-up care. By targeting these patients early, the service aims to reduce the risk of subsequent fractures, improve quality of life, and decrease healthcare costs associated with repeated injuries.
