It also includes a dementia element that enables healthcare professionals to talk to their patients about how they can reduce their dementia risk, such as by maintaining their social life, keeping mentally and physically active, and stopping smoking.
Also, includes support for NHS Health Check practitioners to improve their CVD risk communication skills and maximise patient outcomes following their check.
