Heart Health

  • The Women’s Heart Health Sub-group, established in November 2022, was set up to support the delivery of the actions in the Plan related to heart health. This group brings together clinicians, academics and women with lived experience of heart disease.
  • A key piece of work for the group has been the development and delivery of an awareness campaign for heart month in February 2023. Outreach posters highlighting the impact of heart disease on women in Scotland were placed in 1,000 pharmacies and 1,600 organisations (such as GPs and community centres). The posters included a link to the NHS Inform Women’s Heart Health page, recently updated.
  • Throughout June 2023, the Scottish Obstetrics Cardiology Network has shared for consultation guidelines and pathways relevant to acute presentations of cardiovascular disease in pregnancy.
