LOCAL residents are invited to attend the launch of a Fracture Liaison Service.

The new service, set up by Bridgewater Community Healthcare NHS Trust and Wigan Borough Clinical Commissioning Group, aims to promote information about bone health and osteoporosis to prevent future fractures in patients. The free event at St Peter’s Pavilion in Hindley at 12.30pm tomorrow is an opportunity for local people to find out more about the new service.
