Putting Prevention First (April 2008) set out plans for the NHS to introduce a systematic and integrated programme of vascular risk assessment and management for those aged 40 to 74.
A 'Next steps' guide, published by the Department of Health on 13 November, will help PCTs begin their roll out. It is available here.
NHS Primary Care Commissioning has developed a Primary Care Service Framework for Vascular Checks on behalf of the Department to support high-quality commissioning of the necessary services needed to implement the checks. It can be viewed here.
