Summary
Heart disease accounts for a great number of deaths and admissions to hospital. We aim to improve ongoing prevention for people with heart disease by supporting general practices to use their data and provide more systematic care.

The research will directly inform government decision-making and policy regarding primary care incentive payment programs.
