www.healthybone.co.uk is designed to educate you, the primary care Practice Nurse on how to improve your knowledge of the long-term management of osteoporosis; which is a key health priority for the Government. This website aims to provide Practice Nurses with the knowledge and understanding of how to recognise osteoporosis risk factors, provide management strategies for patients and discuss pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments.
This site has been developed in conjunction with a panel of primary and secondary care osteoporosis nurse specialists and the University of Derby. In the words of Anne Sutcliffe, Editorial Panel Member and Osteoporosis Specialist Nurse from Newcastle upon Tyne “There has been a noticeable gap in the knowledge and understanding of osteoporosis within primary care and we feel this educational tool will help to fill that gap. I am delighted to be involved in such an exciting project which we hope will ultimately reduce the number of osteoporotic fractures, and in turn, lessen the growing burden on the NHS.”
Your knowledge will be put to the test with a number of multiple choice questions to assess your learning and areas for further development. The website gives you the freedom to complete the educational modules at your own convenience. Once you successfully complete the modules you will be emailed a certificate of achievement. Furthermore, through completion of the programme, learners will be eligible to apply for the inaugural BTEC Professional Diploma in Osteoporosis and Falls Management at the University of Derby. Educational points gained from this Diploma are transferable to any national Higher Education Institute.
