around the globe. Models have been developed to highlight best practice care for individuals who have had a VFF. FFN clinical experts, through the VFF Special Interest Group, have adapted, with permission, the Royal Osteoporosis Society (UK) Model which reflects the best evidence currently available.<br><br>They are now undertaking a survey to identify if this model is appropriate and realistic for providing care in different healthcare sectors (hospitals and primary care) and countries. The survey results will also provide information on tools that could be developed to help healthcare professionals improve their care. The survey can be completed by any healthcare professional who has seen one or more VFF patients in 2023, through any stage of their acute episode to recovery, return to function, and secondary prevention.<br></div><div id="div_block-124-8" class="ct-div-block" ><a id="link_button-110-8" class="ct-link-button" href="https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/NJ6TRRY" target="_blank" >Click here to
