Exciting opportunity to share your orthopaedic knowledge

Oxford Trauma launched a James Lind Alliance Research Priority Setting Exercise (PSP) in September 2016 regarding broken bones in older people. This PSP addresses broken bones of the lower limb and pelvis in patients over 60 years of age. The PSP is a collaboration of patients, carers and healthcare professionals who will identify the ‘top ten’ research priorities in this important area.

You may have participated in the first broken bones in older people survey and now we would like to invite you to take part in the second survey. This survey asks you to prioritise the responses which we received from the first survey. We anticipate that this should not take you longer than 30 minutes to complete. The survey can be found online at: www.ndorms.ox.ac.uk/broken-bones-in-older-people
