Health Care Professionals

The National Model of Care for hip fracture has been organized into six categories; Pre-Operative, Surgery, Postoperative, Delirium, Dementia and Depressions, Osteoporosis and Falls prevention.

There are a number of tools that have been developed at a regional or provincial level made available to support implementation of the model of care. BJC does not endorse any of the individual tools on the site.If you are unable to download the Toolkit directly from the website then right click and save the document to your computer or a USB. You will then be able to open it from there. If you cannot save the document contact Rhona McGlasson at RhonaaMcGlasson@gmail.com.
