SUMMARY:Webinar: Driving Health Literacy in the Real World 
DESCRIPTION:Driving health literacy in the real world. \nHow MediGuides can support improved healthcare understanding and patient engagement. \nClear communication is critical to safe\, effective healthcare yet health literacy remains one of the biggest barriers to patient understanding\, engagement\, and system efficiency. Poor communication comes at a high cost. Improving patient understanding isn’t just a clinical priority\, it’s an operational one. \nIn this webinar\, hosted in partnership with the NIHR\, we’ll explore how MediGuides\, a patient education tool\, is supporting clinicians to deliver clear\, consistent\, and efficient communication. Using graphically-led\, plain-language guides tailored to each patient\, MediGuides is helping to reduce confusion\, improve engagement\, and reduce waste. \n  \nThe session will include opening and closing remarks from Vee Mapunde and a presentation from Chris Pymble\, CEO/Founder\, MediGuides. \n  \nPlease use the link for the registration: https://www.eventbrite.com.au/e/1337975263029?aff=oddtdtcreator

The session will include talks on developing your research question\, the art of selling yourself and your project\, and opportunities in the NIHR. There will also be a live Q&A section. At the end of the plenary session\, delegates will have been exposed to a range of subject experts who will have highlighted key considerations for attendees to consider when applying for future funding in their research careers.

SUMMARY:Cardiovascular disease: new ways to detect risk and improve outcomes
DESCRIPTION:Cardiovascular disease (conditions affecting the heart or blood vessels) accounts for around 1 in 4 deaths in the UK each year. \n  \nA person’s risk of cardiovascular disease depends on their blood pressure\, weight\, cholesterol\, smoking status\, family history\, and other factors. Identifying an individual’s risk allows preventative measures\, such as changes in lifestyle or taking medicines\, to reduce risk and improve health outcomes. \n  \nAn assessment of cardiovascular risk is part of routine care\, during the NHS Health Check\, for example\, but more can be done to optimise the identification of risk for the future. Join this webinar to learn about NIHR research on 3 promising new ways to identify people at risk of heart and circulation problems using information from clinical care that could enable intervention at an earlier stage leading to improved outcomes. Presentations will be followed by a Q&A session. \n  \nThis 1-hour online webinar will cover new tools to predict future cardiovascular risk including \n\na heart disease calculator.\nan AI-enabled ECG\nAI analysis of heart scans.\n\n  \nPresenters include: \n-Professor Julia Hippisley-Cox \n– Dr Fu Siong Ng \n– Dr Kenneth Chan \n  \nNIHR is the health and social care research arm of the nation. We drive life-changing research for the health and wealth of our society. BMJ Group are working with NIHR to maximise the impact of health and care research and strengthen collaboration with people and communities. \n  \n
