ABSTRACT Aim To develop a person‐centred nurse‐led model of care framework to empower people post hip fracture. Design Modified e‐Delphi study. Methods A Modified e‐Delphi study seeking expert opinion from people with the lived experience of hip fracture and clinicians was implemented. Content experts consisted of 17 nursing and medical clinicians and four people with the experience of hip fracture. Results Study found > 70% consensus on all 20 statements rating the importance and feasibility of care components in the Modified e‐Delphi survey. Themes developed from content analysis of expert free text responses comprised: Relationships support person‐centred care; Value of a Specialist Hip Fracture Nurse; Prioritising is key to positive outcomes. PREPARE—Empowering People Post Hip Fracture: A Conceptual Framework for a nurse‐led model of care was developed from study findings, highlighting key principles: person‐centred care; evidence‐informed practice; Health Empowerment; organisational governance; follow‐up and evaluation, constituting this framework. Conclusion This study presents PREPARE—Empowering People Post Hip Fracture: A Conceptual Framework for a nurse‐led model of care. PREPARE presents a structured approach to empowering people post hip fracture, outlining the aim and context in which the model of care is intended. It highlights an integrated, shared, coordinated approach to the care of people post hip fracture. Shared care empowers people and their support person to effectively manage their recovery journey and safely remain supported in the community. Implications for Practice PREPARE outlines a structured framework to support nurse leaders in implementing nurse‐led models of care for people post hip fracture. There is an opportunity to empower nurse leaders and patients to support the recovery journey through education encompassing this person‐centred holistic framework. Impact To our knowledge this is the first study to develop a conceptual framework for a nurse‐led model of care to empower people post hip fracture. This model highlights opportunities for an integrated shared, coordinated approach to the care of people post hip fracture. PREPARE—Empowering People Post Hip Fracture: A Conceptual Framework for a nurse‐led model of care, offers a structured approach for localised health service development of person‐centred nurse‐led empowerment models of care. Reporting Method DELPHISTAR—Delphi studies in social and health sciences—Recommendations for an interdisciplinary standardised reporting. Patient or Public Contribution The experiences of people post‐hip fracture, and clinicians were elicited to inform the PREPARE Conceptual Framework.
