The Heart Failure Regular Review Online Workshop

Target audience

The Heart Failure Academy events are for healthcare professionals only. 

This online workshop is specifically tailored towards generalist members of the multidisciplinary team who will deliver (depending on their role) either structured medication reviews or long term condition reviews in primary care.

NHS England have released changes to the GP Contract 26/27 and there is a new indicator to support prescribing of the four pillars of therapy for people living with Heart Failure with reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF).

This online workshop will give you all the tools you need to increase your confidence in supporting this new QoF indicator as well as in delivering regular heart failure reviews in practice.
