Hip fractures are common and their impact can be substantial, but researchers @DrLaraHarvey have found adherence to hip fracture care standards reduces risk of death and improved patient outcomes. @ACSQHC

Important data showing that lives can be saved by adhering to the national clinical care standard quality indicators. Its not enough to be good at one or two!!! @ANZHFR @ACSQHC
The @ANZHFR, based at NeuRA, continues to grow and has data on more than 110,000 hip fractures. Its 2024 Annual Report had a focus on performance against the clinical care standard. @JacquiCTClose

We are thrilled to welcome Jebby Phillips as a consumer representative for the ANZHFR @neuraustralia
Jebby originally became involved as a consumer for her local hospital after her husband had a serious medical incident. "All ended well but I thought I had a different perspective on the Australian health system. I hope my experience of a hip fracture may provide some useful information for anyone else who falls and breaks a hip."
Jebby's involvement with the ANZHFR will help us to better understand what matters to older people after hip fracture, and ultimately support better care and outcomes.
ALT Jebby and four members of the ANZHFR team stand next to a banner that says NeuRA.

Thank you, I’m delighted to be recognised with this honour. Being able to use research evidence to advocate for better health and aged care is a real privilege at this stage of my life @hsraanz @CroakeyNews @sally_stevensxn @UNSWMedicine @pacop_uow @uowaroc @ePPOC_UOW

Prof @JacquiCTClose AO, kicking off @NSWFallsNetwork #FallsForum24 with a review of the Network’s history in the context of a growing evidence base. Much to celebrate & much more to be done in the context of financial constraint, changing priorities, no National or NSW strategy.
