The ROS Health Services Development Team provides tailored support for planning, developing and improving an FLS. Contact the team to arrange an initial discussion about your goals, local context and the most useful support.
What we offer:
FLS cost benefit calculations
We can provide a locally tailored five-year FLS cost-benefit calculation to support an evidence-based case for investment, including estimated fractures prevented, bed days saved, cost savings and workforce requirements.
These projections include:
Bed days saved
Fractures prevented
Associated cost savings
Estimated workforce and resource requirements aligned to your local population
These insights help you make an evidence based case for investment and service improvement.
Peer support
We can connect you with an FLS that has experience relevant to your priorities, enabling practical discussion of service models, challenges, implementation and improvement.
Practical learning from those who have overcome similar challenges
Real world examples of what works
Supportive discussions to build confidence and momentum
This complements the guidance you receive from the ROS team and strengthens your improvement network.
FLS regional forums
FLS regional forums bring teams together to share practice, explore common challenges, review performance and build supportive professional networks.
These forums provide opportunities to:
Share best practice
Explore common challenges
Review service performance
Build supportive professional networks
They are a valuable way to stay connected and keep improvements moving.
Connecting with ROS support groups
We can connect you with local ROS Support Groups so that patient and lived-experience insight informs service design, priorities and improvement activity.
These groups can:
Share perspectives on patient experience
Help identify unmet needs
Strengthen co production
Add a powerful patient voice to your improvement work
This helps ensure your FLS is shaped around what matters most to people living with osteoporosis.
Practical resources and examples
The team can share practical examples and templates, including job descriptions, case studies, service specifications and other materials to support planning, implementation and improvement.
Sample job descriptions for key FLS roles
Case studies showcasing innovative and high performing FLS models
Service specifications outlining core components of effective FLS provision
These examples offer a real world foundation to help you shape, justify, or refine your service.
Letters of support
Where appropriate, the team can provide a letter of support with senior management that summarises the evidence base, the benefits of high-quality FLS provision and the case for improving care for people with osteoporosis.
