Improving communication about heart disease risk assessment in general practice using translational research strategies
Reports 
This final project report describes the results of the project, ‘Enhancing prevention in primary health care’, and is the second project funded through the Prevention Centre. The project explored the role of PHNs in implementing CVD prevention in general practice.
With the Australian Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance expected to release revised cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention guidelines in mid-2023, we need to plan for implementation of the guidelines if we are to improve the uptake of evidence-based CVD risk assessment and management.
The project team collaborated with stakeholders such as the Heart Foundation, the Royal Australian College of General Practitioners (RACGP) and software providers to disseminate the project’s findings and connect stakeholders in support of the new guidelines.
