This course has been developed in line with current national guidelines including those from NICE, NHS England, and the Primary Care Cardiovascular Society. However, it is intended as a refresher and update for non-registered practitioners who have already completed foundational CVD training. All HCAs should undertake supervised practice in their workplace and should only conduct cardiovascular reviews independently when both they and their employer are satisfied that they are competent to do so.
