LYDIAOSTEOPOROSISPROJECT
Raising awareness of bone health and osteoporosis prevention and management.
Our vision at the Lydia Osteoporosis Project is a future where bone health is recognised as a lifelong priority and where people living with, or at risk of, osteoporosis have access to high quality, safe, and informed person-centred care and support that enables them to live well.
"If we have eggs in our shopping we take even more care when packing our shopping, similarly for moving and handling practice with older people. We need to 'think about osteoporosis' in all moving and handling activities and always treat as if the condition is present- just as we would if we always had eggs in our (shopping) basket."
BBC Radio Scotland interview with Dr M Smith, on 20th October 2015
We aim to work with health and social care professionals, people living with osteoporosis and members of the general public.
The Lydia Osteoporosis Project is a research, education and community engagement project that aims to raise awareness of bone health and osteoporosis prevention and management through working with health and social care professionals and people living with osteoporosis.
