Caroline Miller is a Consumer Representative on the New Zealand Implementation Committee of the Hip Fracture Registry.

Caroline has a lived experience of hip fracture and spoke at New Zealand's Hip Festival in Wellington in September 2022. Tune in to hear her advice to health professionals working in hip fracture care.

On this episode, join physiotherapist and ANZHFR project officer Karen Lee, Professor Cathie Sherrington from The University of Sydney, and physiotherapists Mr Brett Baxter from Princess Alexandra Hospital, Brisbane and Ms Rebecca Ferrier from The Prince Charles Hospital, Brisbane as they share their Hip Tips from Physiotherapy.

To summarise for our listeners, the Top Tips for Physiotherapy are:

1. Physiotherapy intervention early and as intense as possible.

2. Coordinated care is best. Look for opportunities to mobilise your patients

3. Enhance hip fracture recovery after discharge from hospital

4. Take care with progressing patients with hemiarthroplasty fixation performed via a lateral approach

5. The latest evidence tells us physio expertise is valuable after hip fracture including in the post-discharge phase
