Health New Zealand Midcentral

Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) delivers comprehensive and systematic secondary fracture prevention where all people aged 50 years and over who sustain a fragility fracture will be systematically and proactively identified. Ideally, this should include individuals managed in both the primary and secondary care settings. These people with a fragility fracture follow the service pathway to have their bone health, future fracture risk and falls risk assessed and if required commence appropriate bone protection treatment. A patient centric long term care plan is developed in conjunction with the patient and is integrated into primary and secondary care.
