Specialist bone health care from Professor Richard Keen
Professor Richard Keen provides specialist assessment and treatment for osteoporosis, metabolic bone disease and rare bone conditions, helping patients understand their diagnosis, reduce fracture risk and protect long-term bone health.
Bone Health for Life - calm, evidence-based care for patients who need specialist advice, clear answers and a long-term plan.
Bone health is not just about scan results. It is about understanding risk, preventing fractures and protecting confidence, mobility and independence.
Many patients seek specialist advice after a diagnosis of osteoporosis, a fragility fracture, an abnormal bone density scan or concerns about long-term bone strength. Others have complex or rare bone conditions that need careful investigation and a joined-up treatment plan.
Professor Keen’s care is designed to be clear, structured and reassuring. Each consultation focuses on understanding your diagnosis, explaining your options and creating a plan that reflects your medical history, lifestyle, treatment preferences and future risk.
- Clear explanation of your diagnosis and scan results
- Personalised assessment of fracture risk and future bone health
- Evidence-based treatment options, including advanced therapies where appropriate
- Support for patients with complex, unusual or rare bone conditions
