Why this masterclass matters

Hypertension remains one of the most significant modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, yet it is frequently underdiagnosed and undertreated in primary care. Combine that with the challenge of interpreting ECGs confidently, and many clinicians feel underprepared to identify and act on the warning signs that matter most.

This session bridges that gap. Designed specifically for primary care professionals, it builds your confidence in ECG interpretation alongside practical, guideline-driven approaches to hypertension management — empowering you to make faster, safer clinical decisions and improve outcomes for your patients.

What you will learn

In this session, you will gain practical insight into:

  • Translating lipid and cardiovascular guidance into PCN workflows

  • Identifying patients for review and optimisation

  • Improving QOF performance through effective lipid management

  • Addressing common gaps in lipid treatment in primary care

Deliver better cardiovascular care. Meet QOF with confidence.
