News and Events

This comprehensive report has been prepared by Johanna Kaminer on behalf of the South East Clinical Senate and Public Health, NHS England South East.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains a significant cause of premature mortality, despite being largely preventable, and it continues to drive health inequalities and disability across the region. This report highlights the urgent need for improved detection and management of hypertension and high cholesterol, as well as evidence based actions to achieve this improvement.

The recommendations outlined in this report are based on the latest evidence, and qualitative insights and learning from CVD leads at Integrated Care Board and practice levels; and provide a clear roadmap for enhancing quality improvement efforts across the region.
