Formerly called
National Osteoporosis Society

The Royal Osteoporosis Society (ROS), formerly the National Osteoporosis Society, established in 1986, is the only UK-wide charity dedicated to improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of osteoporosis. It is based in Camerton, Somerset, England.[1]

By the 1990s, the charity received a significant increase in membership, and its campaigns were making the disease better known in the UK. Through the organisation, the number of bone scanning units in the country has increased.[2]

The website states: "We provide information, support and networks for people living with osteoporosis, and work with healthcare systems to improve diagnosis and care. Our sight is firmly set on a future where no one is affected by osteoporosis."[3]
