October is Cholesterol Awareness Month, which seems a great opportunity for us to share details of HIEMs CVD Prevention programme and remind healthcare services in the East Midlands of the support HIEM can offer.
The NHS Long Term Plan states that the biggest area where the NHS can save lives over the next 10 years is in reducing the incidence of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
CVD affects around seven million people in the UK and is a significant cause of disability and death. CVD is responsible for one in four premature deaths in the UK, with those in the most deprived areas almost twice as likely to die from CVD.
