Office for National Statistics (ONS) data tells us which groups have the highest CVD mortality rates. #CVDPrevent gives us quarterly data which can help us to reduce that inequality in mortality.

As we approach #WorldHypertensionDay it’s important to remember the Office for National Statistics (ONS) data on inequalities in CVD mortality. A huge shout out to NHS South East Public Health team who have done a fantastic analysis of #CVDPrevent hypertension data by ethnic group.

Great to be part of the National / Regional Virtual Wards Awayday today. Virtual Wards/ Hospital at Home will undoubtedly be a major part of how we deliver health services in the future.

I am encouraging my patients with high hypertension to check their blood pressure at home. Home monitoring of blood pressure by patients generally gives more accurate readings, motivates people to manage their blood pressure better and leads to better blood pressure control.

As we approach #knowyournumbers week, it’s been great to see people analysing the #HealthInequalities data in #CVDPrevent. NHS South East and NHS Benchmarking have looked at the number of people from populations at greatest risk of premature CVD mortality not treated to target.

For people who are really interested in reducing inequalities in CVD mortality this presentation from Office for National Statistics (ONS) colleagues is a must watch. Superb analysis of inequalities in CVD mortality.

Of the 1.3 billion people living with #hypertension, I’m one of the lucky ones, who was diagnosed early and can access good medical care. I urge ALL governments to accelerate access to adequate health care for their people. #WorldHypertensionDay
