We’ve launched a new Evaluation Guide and Toolkit — designed to support the evaluation of public involvement and participation in health and care services.

This guide is ideal for anyone working in:
* Community engagement
* Public involvement
* Participation for planning and improving services

It offers practical tools, templates, and references to help you build your own evaluation approach.

We’d love to hear how you’re using it — share your feedback and insights!

A population-based cross-sectional cohort study was done to compare the variation of hip fracture regionalization across 5 countries with well-developed health care system. Key findings were the following:
 The percentage of hospitals treating hip fractures varied significantly
 High-volume hospitals treated 4-14 times more hip fractures than low-volume hospitals
 Risk-adjusted 30-day mortality was lower in high-volume hospitals in most countries
 Non-operative treatment was more common in low-volume hospitals across all countries
 High-volume hospitals had lower readmission rates in most countries
The study reveals variations in hip fracture care regionalization and its impact on outcomes, suggesting potential areas for improvement.

What can you do to help kids build and protect their bones?

➡️ Provide a well balanced diet including calcium rich foods such as milk, yogurt, green leafy vegetables and calcium fortified foods

➡️ Be sure your child gets the right amount of vitamin D

➡️ Be sure your child is physically active – Children and teens need to be active everyday and get at least 60 minutes of moderate exercise

➡️ If you observe your child or teen exercising or dieting to excess, speak to them and your healthcare provider

➡️ Stress the importance of healthy life-style choices including avoiding smoking and avoiding underage alcohol consumption since they are harmful to bones

➡️ Teach about the importance of wearing a seatbelt and using protective equipment for sports such as a helmet, and knee pads to protect bones

➡️ Talk to your child's healthcare provider about their bone health
