New Modern Service Framework (MSF)

jeudi 6 août 2026 • Durée 42:52

The new Cardiovascular Disease Modern Service Framework sets out a long-term vision for reducing premature deaths from heart disease and stroke through earlier prevention, diagnosis and treatment and a more integrated cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic approach.

Dr Xenophon Kassianides is joined by the framework’s clinical co-chair, Dr Jessica Randall-Carrick, to discuss what it means for primary care. They explore finding people with undiagnosed or undertreated risk, treatment to target, neighbourhood delivery, cardiovascular rehabilitation and proportionate approaches to health inequality.

Xenophon is strongly supportive of the framework’s ambition—but also puts the concerns of supportive sceptics to Jessica. Does primary care have the necessary capacity? Who will be accountable for delivery? How will measurement improve care rather than add burden? And what would make this framework different from previous national strategies?
