NHS Health Check Training for Luton
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 Luton.
