This @hsj.co.uk piece from @chrisbnaylor.bsky.social totally nails it- lots of good stuff on CVD prevention in the 10 Year Health Plan but will only have impact if accompanied by some radical shifts in incentives including fiscal levers. www.hsj.co.uk/policy-and-r...

Promotional image for an event titled 'Taking prevention forward – what can we learn from across the UK and NI?', scheduled for September 17, 4:00 pm, featuring speakers Chris Whitty, CMO for England; Sir Gregor Smith, CMO for Scotland; Isabel Oliver, Chief Medical Officer for Wales; and Michael McBride, Chief Medical Officer for Northern Ireland. Hosted by The King's Fund.
It is clear that bold action is needed to make the shift to prevention a reality.

🧵Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is responsible for 25% of UK premature deaths.
Up to 80% of these deaths are preventable.
It’s estimated that the burden of CVD costs £29 billion each year.
But CVD prevention is not currently being prioritised by the government at the scale needed.
