At #Lab26, we made the case for better osteoporosis care and universal access to Fracture Liaison Services. We need to make sure the Government's promise to offer FLS across the UK becomes a reality.

Liverpool is the largest city in England without a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS). During #Lab26, we made the case to @yvettecooper-mp.bsky.social & @damedianajohnson.bsky.social for universal FLS access. Where you live shouldn’t determine the care you get after a broken bone.

That’s a wrap on #Lab26! 👋 Our staff and volunteers spent the week in Liverpool meeting politicians, partners and organisations to keep osteoporosis and better fracture care on the agenda. We’re campaigning for universal access to Fracture Liaison Services. ❤️

As autumn approaches, keep your bones healthy by staying active – whether that’s a crisp walk outdoors or moving at home. 🍂 A balanced diet, including calcium and vitamin D, also supports bone health. Osteocare from our partners Vitabiotics includes both. #Osteocare
