Course background The National Osteoporosis Society (NOS) delivers the National Training Scheme for Bone Densitometry (NTSBD). The NTSBD is the only course in the UK that offers a Certification in Bone Densitometry and only takes place once every two years. The NOS received feedback from people working in the field of osteoporosis and clinical bone densitometry practice, that they would benefit from having access to a learning resource in between NTSBD courses. In response to this feedback, the NOS developed an e-learning course which covers the foundation level content previously delivered in the NTSBD lecture course. The course has been developed by the Bone Densitometry Training Advisory Panel which is comprised of senior lecturers, clinicians and researchers in osteoporosis and bone densitometry. Course audience The course is suitable for anyone working in, or wishing to pursue a career working in, DXA services/ clinical bone densitometry practice, including radiographers, radiologists and DXA technicians/operators.

They will then be given information about registering to join the NOS e-learning raining area on Moodle. Once the user has registered for an account and logged into their account, they will work through the modules. On completion of the modules, they will have the option to complete an online exam. The course administrator will offer support to users where appropriate.
