Rotherham
Education for Health’s
“Putting Prevention First”
workshop will give you the
knowledge and skills to deliver
comprehensive CVD risk
assessment to your patients.
There is a growing recognition
of the need to support
healthcare practitioners in
undertaking CVD risk assessment
and effectively managing and
supporting high risk
individuals. Following the
publication of “Putting
Prevention First” (Department of
Health, 2008) the current move
towards using an evidence based
approach to prevent or delay CVD
offers an exciting opportunity
for healthcare practitioners who
are trained and have the
knowledge and skills to deliver
comprehensive CVD risk
assessment to their patients.
This workshop will give you the
knowledge and skills to:
- Use current evidence
based guidelines
- Understand modifiable
and non modifiable risk
factors
- Use risk assessment
tools in practice to
calculate CVD risk
- Be familiar with the
investigations required for
measuring CVD risk
- Use motivational
strategies to support
behaviour change
- Understand the
organisational structures
required for delivery of the
Vascular Prevention
Programme in practice
This is a one day
workshop with informal
lectures and interactive
practical sessions delivered
by expert practicing
clinicians
