DATA INTO ACTION

Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) is one of the biggest and most solvable challenges facing the NHS. It causes 1 in 4 deaths, costs the health system over £12  billion each year, and is a leading cause of health inequalities in England.

Effective and inexpensive treatments are widely available, but many high-risk patients go untreated because current systems rely on annual health checks and symptomatic presentation, which miss silent but serious conditions like high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and kidney disease.

The scale of the problem is well understood. What’s been missing is a scalable, practical way to systematically close these gaps in care.

CVDACTION delivers that solution:​

 

• Helps primary care easily identify, prioritise and support at-risk patients – including those with multiple conditions – with easy-to-use, curated patient lists.

• Wraparound service provides full implementation support – to integrate easily with existing systems, mobilise the wider workforce, adapt pathways and free up GP time.

• Action that’s proven to save lives and cut costs. There is long established evidence that treating the high risk conditions is effective at preventing CVD. The CVDACTION Demonstrator Programmes showed that shows that step change optimisation is feasible in real world general practice. And UCLPartners Size of the Prize shows that optimising blood pressure and cholesterol management to reasonable levels of ambition would prevent thousands of heart attacks and strokes every year

• Funding is already available. The Quality and Outcomes Framework includes payments for improved blood pressure and cholesterol control and the Primary Care Network contract includes a new payment for population health risk stratification tools.

With CVDACTION, we can achieve a step-change in CVD prevention TODAY, not one day.
