Summary

London’s osteoporosis care is a postcode lottery, with major NHS trusts like Barts, Homerton, and Whittington lacking fracture liaison services—critical clinics that could prevent debilitating fractures. Despite a government pledge two years ago to roll out nationwide, no new clinics have opened, leaving thousands, mostly women, at risk. Stories like Frances, who suffered months of pain before diagnosis, highlight the human cost. FLS services, proven to save lives and cut NHS costs, remain out of reach for many. The Royal Osteoporosis Society is demanding action: stop the delays, start delivering—because every broken bone is a preventable tragedy.
