Introduction
Osteoporosis in Scotland was a one day (October 13th, 2004)
multidisciplinary clinical conference to support awareness
and implementation of the SIGN Osteoporosis Guideline.
This conference raised awareness of osteoporosis as a major
public health problem for Scotland. Focusing on the recommendations
of SIGN 71, the conference included an update on new treatments,
the management of osteoporosis and current service delivery
in Scotland. It also provided an ideal opportunity to meet
with colleagues.
The conference
held at the Hilton Dunblane Hydro was a great success with
nearly 200 delegates from across Scotland in attendance.
