Abstract

The handbook, commissioned by the UK National Screening Committee [UK NSC],
Describes the context, and outlines evidence for a co-ordinated vascular disease control programme to
identify and reduce risks of cardiovascular disease in the population.
Suggests aims, objectives and a delivery strategy framework appropriate for a Cardiovascular Disease
(CVD) risk management programme.
Reports key messages from the Diabetes, Heart Disease & Stroke (DHDS) pilot project.
Provides examples of tools, resources and standard operating procedures that can be used by health
professionals, many of whom are already undertaking some CVD risk assessment in a variety of ways.
