Publication bulk orders suspended
ROS
08 May 2020
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, we have temporarily suspended our leaflet supply and distribution, which we normally provide in bulk to health care providers and partners for onward distribution.
We know this is a difficult time and want to reassure you that our priority remains the health and well-being of our beneficiaries, volunteers and our colleagues.
We’re following advice from the government and health authorities recommending home working and social distancing. Please bear with us, and we will let you know you when we are able to resume our full information and support services.
We continue to update our online information, providing the latest osteoporosis and bone health news, information and advice. Fact sheets and leaflets are still available as downloads from our website.
