Additionally, over the same period, there has been support through NIHR Clinical Research Networks for 23 studies investigating heart attacks all of which included female participants, with a total expenditure of £1.9 million. The British Women’s Heart and Health Study, which commenced in 2009, was directly funded by the NIHR and specifically looked at heart disease in women.</p><p> </p><p>Preventing and managing cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a priority for NHS England, as indicated by the inclusion of CVD in the NHS Long Term Plan. CVD prevention is also a key theme in NHS England’s Five Year Forward View and their NHS RightCare programme. NHS RightCare launched the Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Optimal Value Pathway in 2016.</p><p> </p><p>The NHS Long Term Plan also sets out how we will ensure that patients continue to benefit from high quality research and innovation with a commitment that the National Health Service will play its full part in delivering the Life Sciences sector deal and work to increase the number of people registering to participate in health research to one million by 2023/24.</p> answering member constituency Gosport answering member printed Caroline Dinenage question first answered 23/01/2019 14:48:26 answering member 4008 label Biography information for Dame Caroline Dinenage
