Implementing effective lipid management for patients is one of the national priorities for the NHS in England in the prevention and management of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD). Introducing innovation to the lipid pathway is one of the core components to enable this.

NICE published a Final Appraisal Document (FAD) for inclisiran on Wednesday 1st September, recommending it as an option for use in the secondary prevention of CVD (FAD available here for full information on the recommendation)

Its approval for use in the NHS comes as part of a collaboration agreement between Government, NHS England and NHS Improvement, and Novartis to deploy this new therapy into the NHS in England via a Population Health Management approach.

This event is for local health system leaders in Integrated Care Systems (ICSs), Primary Care Networks (PCNs), and Academic Health Science Networks (AHSNs) as well as primary care health care professionals such as GPs, practice-based pharmacists and nurses, and CVD/lipid experts who will be leading on activity to improve lipid management for patients as part of this national priority.
