Heart Health Check Toolkit

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) accounts for more than one in four deaths in Australia. Re-engaging with Australians about their cardiovascular risk has never been so important and yet, it has never been so challenging given our competing health priorities during the pandemic.

The Heart Foundation is excited to announce the launch of our online Heart Health Check Toolkit. The new Heart Health Check Toolkit is a one-stop shop designed to assist general practice staff to easily assess and manage CVD risk in line with the latest guidance. It offers a range of tools and resources including assessment and management templates, quality improvement tools, patient engagement resources and much more.

The Toolkit simplifies the delivery of Heart Health Checks for GPs and practice nurses and encourages practitioners to actively recall their at-risk patients for risk assessment.
