There are no ‘early diagnosis centres’ for osteoporosis as such. Many patients with osteoporosis will be diagnosed in primary care. Additionally, osteoporosis assessment services can be run from a number of different specialities, for example rheumatology, endocrinology, or older people’s medicine.
