Alongside a coalition of organisations, we have launched a national action plan for
tackling cardiovascular disease (CVD):
Getting to the heart of the matter.

The burden of CVD is significant and growing. With a National Modern Service
Framework for CVD currently under development, we are calling for policy
change on prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and care.

The action plan outlines key opportunities to support changes to
benefit patients, communities and the NHS. Find out more here:
