All-Party Parliamentary Group on Osteoporosis
All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) meet to discuss important issues on a particular subject. Members can be parliamentarians (MPs or Lords) in the UK Parliament from any party but they can't be part of the Government. These groups invite views from other key organisations and individuals. APPGs offer the opportunity to raise awareness of a topic and drive forward work in the area.
The APPG on Osteoporosis and Bone Health was re-started in 2021. This group is working to raise awareness among members of parliament and NHS leaders of the condition and the importance of bone health. The Royal Osteoporosis Society provides the Secretariat for the group.

Current APPG Inquiry
The All-Party Parliamentary Group for Osteoporosis and Bone Health has now published its 2025 report, Seen. Heard. Supported. Transforming osteoporosis care. You can read the report here.
The report examines how people with osteoporosis are supported across their care pathway, particularly the handover between hospital, primary and community care, and what happens when responsibility for follow-up, monitoring and ongoing support is unclear or falls away altogether.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to the report, including the thousands of people with osteoporosis who completed our survey; the many clinicians, organisations, and others who submitted written evidence; and those who gave oral evidence at our hearings and roundtables. Your evidence has helped shape this report.
The Group is now considering the theme of its Inquiry for 2026.
