The purpose of CSP’s Hip Sprint Local is to build robust and sustainable networks of members, led by ATOCP and AGILE, to ensure the systematic, widespread and sustainable implementation of the CSPs hip fracture standards into everyday practice. The networks will encourage members to participate in local audit and quality improvement (QI) work, to measure their local compliance with the standards and demonstrate value and impact of improved physiotherapy on hip fracture rehabilitation services performance data.
