QRISK and Cholesterol know your heart health

Cardiovascular disease is one of the main causes of death in the UK. It is important that we take preventative measures to reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. Calculating QRISK is one such measure. If you have recently had a blood test you may soon receive a message about your QRISK, which calculates your individual risk of having a heart attack or stroke. If contacted via SMS:
-You will receive a questionnaire to help us guide you further. Please ensure this is completed
-You will be able to see your personal QRISK through your online health record

Please see information resources below on steps to manage or reduce your risk.
