Primary Care Secondary Prevention Service
The Primary Care Secondary Prevention Service is a Consultant Cardiologist-led Cardiovascular service to help achieve QOF and NICE guidelines and improve Patient Outcomes.
Why PCSP?
The NHS Long-term Plan identifies improving the management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as a top priority. CVD is one of the main causes of death and disability in the UK. Lifestyle changes such as change in diet, reduction in alcohol, cessation of smoking, daily exercise and weight loss may help reduce patients’ CVD risk. There are also a range of medications available to assist in reducing an individuals CVD risk. Ensuring patients are informed about their lifestyle choices and treatment options is an important part of reducing the risk of CVD events.
Primary Care Diabetic Nephropathy Service
The Primary Care Diabetic Nephropathy Service is a Specialist-led service to help achieve QOF and NICE guidelines and improve Patient Outcomes.
Why PCDN?
- The management of diabetic nephropathy is a major clinical and societal issue because of its widespread prevalence, and massive health and financial burden;
- Patients with advanced diabetic nephropathy can have a poor prognosis in terms of kidney function and a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
- Sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors have been receiving a great deal of attention owing to their protective effects on the kidney and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease;
- The first step in treating diabetic nephropathy is to treat and control diabetes and, if needed, high blood pressure (hypertension). With good management of blood sugar and hypertension, you can prevent or delay kidney dysfunction and other complications.
NHS Health Check
