• A 1 hour education session in the acute setting
• A toolkit with education, exercise and self management instructions for after hip fracture

• A 1 hour education session in the acute setting
• A telephone delivered self management program , including a toolkit (education, exercise and self management instructions for after hip fracture), support to take an active role in recovery, including setting and monitoring goals, problem solving mobility barriers, and guidance on the recovery process following a hip fracture.

The participants will receive up to 5 telephone calls of 30-45 minutes each after hospital discharge to provide support and education for the transition from acute to community care. The first call will be made within 48-72 hours of hospital discharge and will have the following elements:

• Health Status
• Medication Management
• Activity/Exercise Prescription and Goal-Setting
• Falls Prevention
• Clarification of Appointments
• Coordination of Post-Discharge Home Services
• What To Do If a Problem Arises

Feasibility will be measured by recruitment rate (30%), and retention rate (<10% attrition)

The EQ5D-5L Quality of Life outcome measure is a self reported questionnaire measure, and has been extensively investigated in the hip fracture population, with well established sensitivity, reliability and validity properties.

The DEMMI is a clinical instrument for measuring mobility in older adults. Interval levels are obtained from 0 (poor mobility) to 100 (excellent mobility)
