NHS Health Check Training for City & Hackney
The NHS Long Term Plan identifies cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a clinical priority and the single biggest condition where the NHS can save lives over the next 10 years. Following the disruption caused by COVID-19, we now have much to do to improve the detection and management of atrial fibrillation, blood pressure and cholesterol (ABCs).
NHS Health Checks are a terrific way to help save lives, and training is essential.
Courses are commissioned by City & Hackney Council’s Public Health team and are free for practice staff that work in City & Hackney. Those with an interest in CVD prevention and the NHS Health Checks programme are encouraged to attend.
A great opportunity to network with colleagues from across City & Hackney.
Starting with strengthening their understanding of the need for the programme and health inequalities that exist, this comprehensive session gives attendees the knowledge and understanding to support them in carrying out an NHS Health Check, including the significance of their results and CVD risk, acting on the filters and providing brief advice.
- State why NHS Health Checks are important.
- Identify non-modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
- Identify modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease.
- Know the NHS Health Check filters
- State how an NHS Health Check should be conducted.
- Identify how an NHS Health Check can assess and interpret the risk of cardiovascular disease.
- State how the risk of cardiovascular disease and opportunities for reducing this risk may best be communicated.
