The San Servolo Project produced a book, published in June 2018, with open access (sponsored by UCB Pharma) aimed at nurses who care for patients with fragility fractures in your day-to-day clinical practice. This course has already been held in Bologna, Athens, Vilnius, Dublin, Berlin, Manchester, and Istanbul.
Currently, the committee is working on an online training course for caregivers after hip fracture.
This practically oriented series presents state of the art knowledge on the principal diseases encountered in older persons and addresses all aspects of management, including current multidisciplinary diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. It is intended as an educational tool that will enhance the everyday clinical practice of both young geriatricians and residents and also assist other specialists who deal with aged patients.
