The Bone Health Clinical Implementation Network (CIN) was formed in May 2025. Led by Dr Inder Singh, a bone health clinical lead, we are a team of staff from NHS Wales working together to enhance the operational delivery of national strategic aims.
The aim of the Bone Health CIN is to enable the delivery of the Quality Statement for Osteoporosis and Bone Health, the MSK Quality Statement and MSK Framework.
The key objectives of the CIN are:
- To define and agree an annual workplan, which will include objectives that answer the above aims and scope
- To develop consistent and relevant data sources, review of relevant evidence-bases and identification of relevant pathways
- To deliver a list of priority national optimal pathways that shall be considered by the CIN over a three-, five- and 10-year period
For full details of the aims, scope and reporting of the CIN please see the Bone Health Clinical Implementation Network Terms of Reference.
