"Cardiovascular disease management in primary care"
Accredited or non-accredited CPD for healthcare professionals 

Cardiovascular disease is a growing global challenge in the context of ageing populations. Primary and secondary care professionals and policymakers have much to contribute to improving outcomes through health promotion strategies, primary and secondary prevention and improved access to an ever increasing range of pharmacological and non pharmacological interventions. Understanding the scale of the problem, the risks and opportunities for systems of care will enhance our capacity to meet this challenge.
