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

Challenge Two: Current policy and
strategy around vascular health
• 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
Potential Solutions
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
2. Setting up of Vascular Health Alliance in Scotland
• To lobby and support delivery, evaluation and review of the above.
• Partnership of all sectors.
