This course is aligned with national guidance, including NHS and NICE cardiovascular disease frameworks. It is designed to build foundational skills, but HCAs should only carry out reviews independently when both they and their employer are confident they are competent to do so.
Our ‘Foundations of Cardiovascular Disease for HCAs’ course aims to equip healthcare assistants (HCAs) and other non-registered healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to effectively support long term condition reviews related to cardiovascular disease (CVD) and hypertension. Participants will gain insights into the anatomy and physiology of the heart, understand various CVDs including Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), learn about risk factors including hypertension, understand to conduct assessments, and engage in health promotion strategies.
Overall, this course aims to empower HCAs in playing a pivotal role in supporting patients with CVD and hypertension, promoting better health outcomes through effective management and patient education. This one-day course is aimed to be interactive with discussions, case studies and practical tips for those working in primary care settings.
Developed in line with current UK National Standards and Guidelines (including those in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland) and guidance from the NHS, NICE and Best Practice Guidelines.
