This Heart Week (2-8 May) presents an opportunity for health professionals and the Australian public to start a conversation about heart health and take steps to reduce their risk of heart disease.
The Heart Foundation is encouraging GPs, nurses and general practice staff to deliver Heart Health Checks for more eligible Australians. Since April 2019 there have been more than 275,000 Heart Health Checks done.
With one Australian suffering from a heart attack or stroke every 4 minutes, you and your general practice teams have the power to change this statistic by focusing on simple, routine practices that have a measurable lifesaving impact.
Get ready for Heart Week by visiting the Heart Foundation’s Heart Week webpage to:
- download your Heart Week digital promotional pack
- make a splash for Heart Week at your practice and enter our competition
- use the Heart Health Check Toolkit to plan and implement Heart Health Checks
- spread the word to your community and network.
