Auckland City, New Zealand Health New Zealand - Te Whatu Ora Waitematā Full time

**0.8 FTE- Permanent role**:

- **Based at North Shore Hospital**

Each year, thousands of New Zealanders needlessly experience debilitating fractures because the underlying cause of their broken bones — osteoporosis — was undetected and untreated. FLS systematically identifies treats and refers to appropriate services all eligible patients aged over 50 years who have suffered a fragility fracture, with the aim of reducing their risk of subsequent fractures.

As an FLN you will be required to:

- Identify all patients over the age of 50 with fragility fractures
- Initiate contact with patient either face to face or by phone to arrange assessment, blood tests, DEXA scan, and develop a plan of care
- Develop a treatment plan for those older patients who do not require a DEXA scan and are at high risk of future fractures.
- Report on patients seen, including review of results and date for follow ups
- Refer patients to other specialities

Undertake training to be able to complete DEXA bone density scanning for Waitematā patients
- Be a level 4 registered nurse with at least 5 years post registration experience preferably in trauma and orthopaedics, care of the elderly or rheumatology
- Knowledge of osteoporosis, fall prevention, multi-pathology and polypharmacy would be advantageous
- Able to work autonomously but also as part of a team

The successful person would need to be self-motivated, enthusiastic, with exceptional organisational and communication skills as well as being flexible, adaptable and assertive.

**Closing date : 5 November 2024
