The NHS Best MSK Health initiative includes a programme aimed at addressing health inequalities in planned care for those with musculoskeletal conditions, with a particular focus on the gender disparity in access to treatment and outcomes faced by women with osteoporosis.

As part of the forthcoming Women’s Health Strategy, we have committed to explore areas of healthcare in which disparities between men and women are greatest, including long-term conditions such as osteoporosis. We aim to publish the Women’s Health Strategy in spring 2022.
