New clinical software improves osteoporosis services in Ceredigion

"The Ceredigion National Osteoporosis Society Support Group is absolutely delighted to learn that the National Osteoporosis Society and the Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons will be funding the Cellma electronic database for the Ceredigion Integrated Osteoporosis Service that is based in Bronglais General Hospital, Aberystwyth, Ceredigion.

The Support Group works closely with the Osteoporosis Service to support people affected by osteoporosis across a large rural community of Mid Wales. This is challenging given the geography of the area and we are very pleased to see that the National Osteoporosis Society recognise the importance of promoting good healthcare in rural settings. The Cellma software allows clinicians to streamline the assessments of their patients and we are confident that this use of exciting new technology has improved patient care in our locality."

"Ceredigion and Mid Wales NHS Trust is delighted with the news that we have been successful in securing funding from the National Osteoporosis Society Osteoporosis Scanning Services Development Programme (OSSDP) for the development of a patient information system. We are extremely proud of our local osteoporosis service which provides world-class care for our patients.

The funding that we have now received will serve to ensure that we continue to be at the forefront of research and service delivery with the aim of continuously improving the services we offer to people with osteoporosis."
