Hip fractures are common and their impact can be substantial, but researchers @DrLaraHarvey have found adherence to hip fracture care standards reduces risk of death and improved patient outcomes. @ACSQHC neura.edu.au/news-media/med…

Important data showing that lives can be saved by adhering to the national clinical care standard quality indicators. Its not enough to be good at one or two!!! @ANZHFR @ACSQHC

We are thrilled to welcome Jebby Phillips as a consumer representative for the ANZHFR @neuraustralia Jebby originally became involved as a consumer for her local hospital after her husband had a serious medical incident. "All ended well but I thought I had a different perspective on the Australian health system. I hope my experience of a hip fracture may provide some useful information for anyone else who falls and breaks a hip." Jebby's involvement with the ANZHFR will help us to better understand what matters to older people after hip fracture, and ultimately support better care and outcomes.

Fantastic to have the revised Framework for National #CQRs to guide our growth and support the use of Registry data to improve care for older people after #hipfracture 👏🏻

💡A new systematic review from our Fall, Balance and Injury Research Centre team here at @neuraustralia, reveals significant variations in fragility hip fracture rates across the Asia-Pacific region 🌏 @JacquiCTClose @DrLaraHarvey #ANZHFR Read more👉pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38579379/

Well done to the #anzhfr sprint audit team! New study finds that prompt mobilisation and frequent physiotherapy sessions post-hip fracture surgery reduces length of hospital stay and increase the likelihood of returning home #HipFracture #Physiotherapy @FF_Network @JacquiCTClose

Preoperative frailty increases the risk of postoperative delirium in older patients undergoing hip fracture surgery.  ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P…

@age_no_barrier Thank you, I’m delighted to be recognised with this honour. Being able to use research evidence to advocate for better health and aged care is a real privilege at this stage of my life @hsraanz @CroakeyNews @sally_stevensxn @UNSWMedicine @pacop_uow @uowaroc @ePPOC_UOW
