The iFraP trial recruited over 340 FLS patients to investigate the impact of a decision support tool on osteoporosis person-centred care and medicine uptake.

2/2 We also reviewed FLS clinical proforma quality. Most were biomedically focused, didn't guide HCP to ask about fracture symptoms, social circ. or guide info giving. We designed a model (hopefully more holistic) proforma based on findings. @RCP_FFFAP https://t.co/iai5KfMAbh.
1/2 Latest @iFraP_Study output: UK survey of FLS conduct before & during pandemic
Key findings: > 25% FLSs did not discuss osteoporosis medicines with patients >> missed opportunities for informed decision making #keelemsk@RoyalOsteoPro@NIHRresearch https://t.co/OTkxv3VJyd

Great to be the part of the team to win the Keele University Breaking the Mould award for Social Inclusion tonight alongside my colleague from Expert Citizens and the Keele Impact Accelerator Unit. @KeeleIAU@KeeleUniversity @ExpertCitizens
@RoyalOsteoPro@SoM_Research@isdmsociety In feasibility testing, iFraP was well received. We are now conducting a trial to evaluate the clinical and cost effectiveness of iFraP and the impact on patient experience and outcomes. We have recruited 152 people so far… just another 200 ish to go! 6/6 https://t.co/cWKbE02Ga0
@RoyalOsteoPro@SoM_Research@isdmsociety Qualitative research, a usual care survey (not yet published), the evidence synthesis, and the Delphi all fed into designing iFraP – a decision tool, health professional training package in shared decision making, and additional resources 5/6 https://t.co/6tlZc0zaNJ
Really accomplished and powerful presentation from @zpaskins on the power of communication - the myths, messaging and diagnostic muddles around osteoporosis and fractures #osteo2023@RoyalOsteoPro@iFraP_Study
#MPFTCelebrates The iFraP Study 💙
"The team hypothesize their resources will improve patient-centred care and help patients feel more committed and confident in their decisions about taking (or not taking) medicines to lower fracture risk."
