An integrated care pathway for fractured neck of femur patients.
Fractured neck of femur is a common traumatic condition, particularly among older women. An acute trust developed an integrated care pathway for these patients, led by a consultant and a senior nurse. Multidisciplinary team members were trained and outcomes for patients on discharge seem to be improving. But some medical staff have been slow to get involved with the project.
