Our world-class Metabolic Bone Disease Service sees children from all over the UK with a wide range of conditions including:
Treatments include appropriate occupational and physiotherapy, orthotics and referral to specialist surgical services (typically orthopaedic, neurosurgical and dental).
Children with rickets receive different forms of therapy depending on the type of rickets they have.
There are two metabolic bone disease outpatient clinics per week. One is dedicated to seeing patients receiving oral bisphosphonate therapy in prospective randomised studies, the other takes new referrals and follows up patients with bone disease.
Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust has five core values that underpin everything we do: Committed to Excellence, Teamwork, Accountability, Compassion and Integrity.
Here in the Metabolic Bone team we have developed our own mission statement based on the Trust values:
Brittle Bone Society – the Brittle Bone Society is a national charity that supports individuals and families affected by Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI).
Care4BrittleBones – aims to improve the quality of life for people with Brittle Bone Disease by enabling more medical research.
Climb – the leading patient organisation for Inherited Metabolic Disorders, supporting thousands of families worldwide.
Restricted Growth Association – a registered charity that provides information and support to people of restricted growth and their families. Their purpose is to ensure that all people who are affected by dwarfism are equal in society.
