National Hip Fracture Database information


The National Hip Fracture Database (NHFD) is a nationwide audit within the NHS concerning the management and outcomes of patients with hip fractures.

It was initially set up by the British Orthopaedic Association and the British Geriatrics Society, however it is now commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP), a consortium of the Academy of Medical Royal Colleges and the Royal College of Nursing which holds the contract to manage and develop the National Clinical Audit and Patient Outcomes Programme (NCAPOP), as part of the Falls and Fragility Fracture Audit Programme (FFFAP) of the Royal College of Physicians, in association with the BOA, BGS, Royal College of Surgeons of England and the Falls and Fractures Alliance (composed of Age UK and the National Osteoporosis Society).
