  1. Population Primary Prevention Interventions for Vascular Disease How can we make more progress?

  2. Aims • Consideration of how the increasing prevalence of some modifiable cardiovascular risk factors in the Scottish population may affect future incidence and prevalence of TIA, stroke and vascular dementia in Scotland. • Consideration of gaps in national vascular health policy and strategy. • Potential solutions.

  11. Challenge Two: Current policy and strategy around vascular health

  12. Individual Disease Strategies Individual Topic Strategies Some overarching prevention and anticipatory care programmes which link all above – e.g. Keep Well Policy and strategy time frames tend to be fairly short term

  13. Potential Solutions

  14. 1. Over-arching, coherent vascular health/disease strategy for Scotland • Balance and synergy between population, community, family and individual interventions • Most cost effective regulatory and supportive measures in terms in terms of diet, physical activity, as well as tobacco and alcohol • Utilise contributions of all sectors more effectively – statutory, voluntary, private, academic

  15. 2. Setting up of Vascular Health Alliance in Scotland • To lobby and support delivery, evaluation and review of the above. • Partnership of all sectors.
