Writing in April 2022, Dr Jim Moore Looked Ahead to the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society Sessions at Guidelines Live 2022, Which Focussed on CVD Prevention and NHS Reforms
As we move into Spring 2022 and the demands of the COVID-19 pandemic lessen, there is an urgent need to refocus and address aspects of healthcare that have suffered over the past few years. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention is undoubtedly one of those areas; last month, this was recognised by the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, Sajid Javid, in his speech outlining the ‘Road to recovery’—a programme of NHS reforms with prevention and primary care at its centre (bit.ly/3DN9lns). CVD prevention will be the initial priority within this prevention agenda, and I am delighted to announce that it will also be the central theme of the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society (PCCS) programme at Guidelines Live 2022.
Providing relevant, high-quality, up-to-date educational opportunities around CVD for a primary care audience is a central aim of the PCCS, and we are pleased that Guidelines Live will afford that opportunity again this year. The programme will cover different aspects of CVD prevention currently relevant to healthcare practitioners working in primary care, incorporating current national guidelines, new therapies, primary care network (PCN) service requirements, and the PCN Directed Enhanced Service specification. The individual sessions will be delivered by experts in the field of cardiovascular medicine, and arranged to provide plenty of chances to ask questions, enabling you to make the most of this learning experience. We hope that you’ll be able to join us.
