Cardio Vascular Disease (CVD) Lipid Prevention Pathway
The NHS has developed a way to reduce the incidences of cardiovascular disease (CVD) through targeting specific factors. They have recently launched the Greater Manchester Lipid pathway which provides guidance for lipid management for the prevention of CVD.
A variety of resources have been made by healthcare professionals across Greater Manchester to support this programme. Learn more by using the resources below.
The recently launched GMMMG-approved Greater Manchester lipid pathway complements the NHSE/NICE Lipid pathway (Dec 2022), and provides guidance for lipid management for primary and secondary prevention of CVD. For further support, healthcare professionals can access the new ‘Lipid Management for secondary prevention of CVD educational webinar here.
Information is also available for inclisiran, an injection-based lipid treatment to reduce LDL cholesterol. Approved by NICE and listed as Green by GMMMG, inclisiran has been identified by NHS England and NHS Improvement as a medicine that can help tackle lipid management in a large high-risk patient population. Healthcare professionals can access the new educational webinar on inclisiran use, guidance, prescribing and ordering here.
Support is also available to help healthcare professionals identify high-risk patients requiring lipid optimisation for secondary prevention of CVD, with guidance for case finding using TPP System One and EMIS. By using the case finding tool, healthcare professionals can clearly identify and prioritise eligible patients.
