2. What this presentation covers
• Recommendations for regional
CVD prevention programmes
• Lessons for Heart of Mersey
• Implications for local policies
4. CVD programmes:
good practice
Local and regional CVD prevention programmes
should:
• comprise intense, multi-component interventions
• target the whole population
• complement initiatives for individuals at high risk
• be sustainable for a minimum of 5 years
• be allocated adequate time and resources.
5. CVD programmes:
preparation
• Find out about CVD prevalence and incidence locally
• Identify groups that are disproportionately affected
• Consider how policies related to food, tobacco control
and physical activity may affect local prevalence
• Gauge the community’s knowledge of CVD risk factors
and their ability to make changes to reduce the risk
6. CVD programmes:
development
• Ensure the programme:
- adopts a population-based approach
- is underpinned by sound theory
- helps address local targets
- acts as an incentive for commissioning
- tackles health inequalities
- links to strategies targeting people at high risk
of CVD.
7. CVD programmes:
resources
• Ensure the programme lasts a minimum of 5 years
and is adequately staffed
• Produce a long-term plan – and gain political
commitment – for funding beyond the end of
the research or evaluation period
• Volunteers should be an additional – rather
than a core – resource
8. CVD programmes:
leadership
• Identify senior figures within primary care trusts and
local authorities to act as champions
• Identify – and provide for training for – people to lead
the CVD programme, including local people
• Develop systems within local strategic partnerships
and regional (or sub-regional) partnerships to agree
shared priorities
9. CVD programmes:
evaluation
• Budget for and establish baseline measures
before the CVD programme begins
• Ensure evaluation is built in from the outset
• Ensure appropriate methods are used to:
- evaluate programme processes
- capture health outcome measures or indicators
