Event Details
- The Durham Centre, Belmont Industrial Estate, Durham, DH1 1TN
HEART UK, Health Innovation Network and local clinical experts across primary and secondary care, are bringing live collaboration to the region to spotlight the heightened focus on cholesterol in secondary prevention of Cardiovascular disease (CVD). This one-day event will be an opportunity to share best practice across the Durham region, network with colleagues, and gain insights into national models delivering the National Lipid Guidance.
Learning Outcomes:
- Increase understanding of the link between dyslipidaemia and other Cardio-Renal-Metabolic (CaReMe) conditions and the importance of taking a CaReMe approach to CVD prevention.
- Improved knowledge and confidence in the management of CVD conditions including dyslipidaemia, FH, CKD and hypertension.
- Improved knowledge regarding:
- Treatment targets for cholesterol (use of non-HDL, not total cholesterol and 2.6mmol/l not 40% reduction) for secondary prevention in line with national and local guidance (NEELI);
- When to refer for possible FH;
- Know Your Numbers for CVD conditions.
- Hear about progress so far and explore how we can work together moving forward to prioritise CVD prevention and improve our population’s cardiovascular health tackling health inequalities.
