The CVD Modern Service Framework will only deliver its promise if we do things differently.

The MSF sets 6 immediate priorities for secondary prevention with ambitious targets for increased uptake of medicines recommended by NICE but under used. The CVDACTION Impact Modelling cited in the MSF shows that increasing uptake of these treatments to modest levels of improvement ("Step Change") will deliver a huge impact on outcomes, demand, cost and wider economic productivity in 3 years. The MSF is explicit about what needs to be done. But we've known for years that thes

The new CVD framework sets the prevention ambition. CVDACTION delivers it.

The NHS Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework (MSF), published this week, sets out a strategic vision to prevent thousands of heart attacks, strokes and other serious cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CVKM) conditions and to fundamentally change outcomes for patients who have for too long been missed by the system. Cardiovascular disease is responsible for 33,000 early deaths every year, is a major driver of health inequalities and costs the health system an estima

The NHS Oversight Framework published last week reveals ambitious secondary prevention targets - setting the number of additional patients in every ICB whose blood pressure and cholesterol treatment must be optimised. Historically, under treatment in secondary prevention is widespread and longstanding, and despite years of improvement activity and incentives, overall gains remain marginal. CVDACTION has been built to challenge this history and enable step change improvement.

Powering The Prevention Shift

New analysis shows the NHS could prevent 100,000 heart attacks, strokes and other serious conditions over five years and deliver £5 billion in benefits Highlights Almost 100,000 serious cardiovascular events (including heart attacks, strokes, heart failure and end-stage kidney disease) could be avoided in England over 5 years (99,158 modelled) by ensuring more people receive established, affordable NICE-recommended medicines. The analysis is underpinned by CVDACTION—a smart
