In a world where bone health is often overlooked, the ROS has been a relentless force for change, ensuring that the 3.5 million people living with the condition are no longer left to suffer in silence.
The charity’s greatest strength lies in its unwavering commitment to patient empowerment. Through its specialist nurse-led helpline, the ROS provides a vital lifeline to thousands, offering free, expert guidance that cuts through the confusion of diagnosis. Whether clarifying medication options or offering practical tips for safe exercise, the charity equips patients with the confidence to manage their condition and live well. Complementing this is a vast library of clinically approved resources, ensuring families have access to trusted information whenever they need it.
Beyond direct support, the ROS is transforming the future of care by investing in the people who deliver it. Its Fracture Prevention Practitioner Training is setting a new gold standard, equipping nurses and allied health professionals with the skills to identify those at risk sooner. By driving best practice and funding pioneering research into new treatments and better diagnostic tools, the charity is working tirelessly to close the care gap.
“Finding the ROS was a turning point. The nurse on the helpline didn’t just answer my questions; she gave me the reassurance I had lost. For the first time, I felt understood and capable of taking control of my bone health.”
