Welcome to the CPPE ischaemic heart disease page. Ischaemic heart disease or IHD is a major cause of death. Around 2 million people in the UK suffer from angina which is the most common symptom. Pharmacy professionals can make many interventions both to prevent the development of IHD and support patients to reduce their risks of further progression through medicines optimisation. Here you will find learning resources for pharmacy professionals in all sectors of practice. Patients often take multiple medicines and the resources on this page will support you in optimising medicines and supporting patients to get the best from them. Additional resources link to national guidance which will support evidence-based decision making around medicines. There are additional tools to apply to practice to support reduction of cardiovascular risk. As this is quite a broad topic the ‘test yourself’ area of the page may be a good place to start to help you identify your personal learning needs.
This e-learning programme provides an overview of the management of stable angina. It will equip learners with the knowledge and skills to offer a comprehensive medicines management service to people with this condition.

The focus of this learning programme is to consider options for second-line angina treatment and how primary care teams can contribute to delivering a positive patient experience for people with angina.
2h:00m (for events this includes pre and post event learning)
Learning Outcomes:
On completion of all aspects of this learning programme you should be able to:The aim of this e-course is to develop your knowledge and skills in cardiovascular therapeutics. This will enable you to provide a person-centred approach to support the healthcare of people living with or at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. It is designed for pharmacy professionals working in all areas of practice.
To facilitate your learning, we have structured the course into seven units. Some units are larger than others, but we estimate that you will need to commit an average of three hours of learning for each unit.

The aim of this e-learning programme is to provide you with a better understanding of vascular risk and the NHS health check programme.
It looks at the health policy surrounding the NHS health check programme and how it is commissioned. This learning defines cardiovascular risk and looks at some of the different assessment tools available and how these are used to estimate an individual’s cardiovascular risk.
It looks at the importance of communication with patients about their modifiable risk factors. Information on how to perform the NHS health check has been included and how to embed clinical governance into your NHS health check service.

This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Vascular risk and the NHS health check programme and assesses you on the learning outcomes within that programme.
Why should I do this assessment?
This e-assessment completes the learning you began with the CPPE Vascular risk and the NHS health check programme. Access and successful completion will contribute to your own personal development plan, be recorded in your My CPPE record and will enable you to complete a CPD entry on the learning. It may also provide evidence for achieving competencies in the RPS Foundation or Advanced Pharmacy Frameworks. If you are working towards completing a Declaration of Competence for a pharmacy service, successful completion of this assessment will provide evidence of your learning.This e-assessment is linked with the CPPE Fundamentals of cardiovascular therapeutics e-course programme, and assesses you on the learning outcomes in that programme.

NICE CG126 Stable angina: management
This guideline covers the early and longer-term (rehabilitation) management of acute coronary syndromes. These include ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) and unstable angina. The guideline aims to improve survival and quality of life for people who have a heart attack or unstable angina.
