Putting prevention first: vascular checks risk assessment and management – impact assessment (14th November 2008)
Vascular diseases include heart disease, stroke, diabetes and kidney disease. A significant amount of vascular morbidity and mortality could be prevented through primary prevention and early detection of these diseases. A universal risk assessment and management programme could significantly increase uptake of the preventative interventions, and offers a real opportunity to reduce health inequalities.
Impact Assessment
National COPD Audit 2008 (19th November 2008)
The Royal College of Physicians has reported that NHS services for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) have improved over the past five years but the quality of services offered varies considerably and often falls short of national quality standards. This is the main finding of the latest national audit into the acute care of COPD. The disease is the fifth biggest killer in the UK, the second most common cause of emergency admission to hospital and one of the most costly in-patient conditions treated within the NHS. The National COPD Audit 2008 measures what progress has been made into the care of the condition since the last audit in 2003.
