NHS Health Check Training for Lambeth
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 Lambeth Council’s Public Health team and are free for practice staff that work in Lambeth. Those with an interest in CVD prevention and the NHS Health Checks programme are encouraged to attend.
Delivered by Zoom
