3rd Australian Consensus on Fracture Prevention at Residential Aged Care Facilities

As in the first and second conferences, a group of health professionals with experience in the field of Aged Care will meet with experts in the field of osteoporosis to discuss several aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). In this third consensus conference, we will discuss the most appropriate measures to prevent and treat osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures in these residents focusing on the practical aspects of some of the new advances in the prevention of falls and the diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis in this population. The final document (which is expected to be published in a high impact journal) will be a very valuable guide for the management of institutionalised patients with osteoporosis. In addition we expect that our conclusions will contribute to the reduction of osteoporotic fractures and an improvement of the quality of care of our institutionalised older persons.
