Summary/Abstract: Continuing qualification is very important to increase the knowledge and improve the skills of healthcare professionals (HCPs) to increase the quality of service delivery and to maintain their competence as professionals. The aim of the study was to assess the needs of HCPs for osteoporosis-related education. The survey was conducted in March 2022, among 17 HCPs through an online questionnaire. 11 (64.7%) nurses and 6 (35.3%) midwives participated in it. 94% of HCPs are interested in training related to osteoporosis and musculoskeletal disorders. Lifelong learning is an essential element of HCP practice for prevention, early recognition and proper guidance in the fight against osteoporosis.
