Cardiovascular Risk Prevention

Cardiovascular Risk Management Programme

Prevention of cardiovascular disease is a health priority. Many people have risk factors making them more likely to have a heart attack or need interventions such as angioplasty or coronary by-pass surgery. In addition, those with high cardiovascular risk are more likely to suffer from stroke.

A risk management programme is a valid and cost-effective way of minimising this chance, and promoting ways of improving general and cardiovascular health.

S&C Healthcare is an experienced provider of community cardiac rehabilitation programmes, for those who have cardiac disease. We now offer a community-based multi-component intervention for those at risk. Following on from the NHS Health Checks it is a valuable intervention in preventing heart disease and stroke. It utilises relevant recommendations within NICE guidance and can support organisations in their strategy to reduce this health burden.

The programme is lead by a cardiac nurse consultant, and the support team includes:

• Cardiac Specialist Nurses
• Community Cardiac Dietician
• Cardiac Pharmacist
