NHS Health Checks,The Tower Hamlets Story - a case study in the words of a facilitator
In early 2009, Tower Hamlets PCT decided to offer NHS Health Checks as a Locally Enhanced Service (LES) for all its residents over the age of 40 years who were not currently on the Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) or Diabetes register. To support this process the Clinical Effectiveness Group (CEG) produced localised evidence based clinical guidelines. The report was compiled by Dr. John Robson on behalf of the CEG, and has been endorsed by Tower Hamlets PCT. It was also agreed that QRISK2 Risk Scores would be the preferred method used to calculate risk as it was proven to be more efficient and equitable.
