New Heart Health Project in the Tame Valley Area 💙

We’re pleased to share that we are part of the new heart health project that’s started in GP surgeries across the Tame Valley area, supported by NW Hearts Charity.

This project is for people already living with heart disease, especially those who may have missed regular check-ups or cholesterol blood tests in the past year.

Why this matters:
Regular cholesterol checks help reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes and we don’t want anyone to miss out on important care.

What’s happening:
GP teams will be identifying patients who may be overdue a cholesterol check and will be contacting them directly to offer:

Appointments will be flexible, with extra support available, including:

If you’re contacted, please don’t worry, it’s simply an invitation to support your heart health 💙

Thank you to NW Hearts Charity for supporting this important work in our community.

You can also request an appointment with our Veterans Lead Dr Adam Tollitt. 

We look forward to serving you.
