HUGE thank you to @celiagregson for your time this evening to support the conversations @j_osteo #osteojclub and help us understand how we can use the new guidance in clinical practice.

[Jill Griffin 💙 @OsteoRadJill]

we developed a patietn version of the report that tried to clearly spell out the information they need, taking the focus from the T-score as the be all and end all of everything. They get very hung up on the T-score.

@j_osteo ##OsteoJClub I have set up Fast Track clinic to prioritise patients with recent vertebral # and low BMD for anabolics
But it is already developing a waiting list ☹️
But I also think pushing an osteoporosis ‘emergency’ (imminent #) is a useful concept to promote the condition

[Royal Osteoporosis Society for professionals @RoyalOsteoPro]

DXA reporting training is so very important to ensure the right peoplr get the right treatments at the right time.

#osteojclub

[OsteoJClub @j_osteo]

Have we all found the FAQs on the NOGG website?????

#osteojclub

[Jude Bubbear @JudeBubbear]

@celiagregson Ours just goes to referer as well. Different for a clinic letter is that you have met the patient (& I write to the pt & cc GP) Something else to think about 🤔 #OsteoJClub

[Royal Osteoporosis Society for professionals @RoyalOsteoPro]

Self advocay has been a theme in our APPG evidence this year...patietns need all the support they can get in this.
#osteojclub

[Dr David J Armstrong @osteoporosisNI]

@JudeBubbear @j_osteo And why #Osteoporosis needs to be a separate medical training specialty in U.K., not a ‘hobby’ for whichever rheumatologist or endocrinologist is in post😀@KassimJavaid agrees!!
#OsteoJClub

[Jude Bubbear @JudeBubbear]

@j_osteo We have historically held onto a lot of drug holiday/pause patients in clinic, but need to think about moving of these patients back into primary care to make space for new patients. #OsteoJClub

[Rosie James @RosieJJ84]

@KarenMKnapp @JudeBubbear @j_osteo #OsteoJClub yes, we’ve even had a few come through FLS 😀 I think embedding DXA into preceptorship for new starters is important too.
