iFraP Study: Improving Fracture Prevention

Today is #WorldOsteoporosisDay - have you see our @ITNBusiness film, which features @iFraP_Study tool? Developed through recent @SoM_Research #osteoporosis research to demystify the condition and explore next steps vimeo.com/870690358?shar… see 3.33 @zpaskins @RoyalOsteoSoc

Huge thank you to the patient and public partners at #KeeleMSK who helped to shape this video. 📊 INDEX study funded by @RoyalOsteoSoc @zpaskins @OsteoRadJill

📢What is a #bone density scan? This #WorldOsteoporosisDay we are sharing a short video to address the questions frequently raised by patients about #DXA scans. 🎬 youtu.be/XHnpyNQxi_A

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. Join us for a free webinar to hear the trial results. Sign up here🖥️: shorturl.at/9Mq7b

We are presenting our multimethod approach to develop the iFraP intervention at #WCO2024 @iFraP_Study #keelemsk

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 doi.org/10.21252/r2bw-….

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 rdcu.be/duYxY

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

Happy #WorldOsteoporosisDay everyone! May your #bones be strong and your turnover balanced 🦴🥰

@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 ifrap.co.uk

@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 bmjopen.bmj.com/content/bmjope…

As today is #WorldOsteoporosisDay2023 we thought we should share our @NIHRresearch funded @iFraP_Study progress so far in this thread. @iFraP_Study aims to support clinician-patient conversations about osteoporosis, with #shareddecisionmaking @RoyalOsteoPro @SoM_Research 1/6

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." Read more below⤵️ #MPFTResearch
