NHS Health Check Training

Delivered by Michaela Nuttall RGN MSc

Former Clinical Advisor Personalised Prevention OHID

Chair Health Care Committee HEART UK

This is a Face to Face event, this bespoke NHS Health Check Training is a great opportunity to update your knowledge nationally and locally, whilst networking with colleagues from across Wiltshire.

This event is for Wiltshire only, please visit the Smart Health Solutions website for more information on the NHS Health Check training.

This course will provide the learner with updated knowledge and understanding to support them in carrying out an NHS Health Check assessment and to inform the client of the significance of their results and their risk, providing brief advice if required.

It provides underpinning knowledge for the core competences and technical competences described in the NHS Health Check competence framework produced by Public Health England.

Since monogenic FH is a single gene disorder and ‘runs in families’, 50% of the brothers and sisters and 50% of the children of your FH patient are at risk of also having FH. If the diagnosis of FH is confirmed, they can easily be offered diagnostic tests and affected individuals effectively treated with statins to reduce their subsequent risk of early onset heartdisease. What should a GP do when an individual has been identified through the NHS Health Check programme with a total cholesterol of > 7.5 mmol/L? The following steps should be carried out: • Repeat the measurement on a fasting blood sample. The laboratory can then calculate the LDL cholesterol concentration. The diagnostic cut-off for a possible diagnosis of FH in an adult is a total cholesterol of > 7.5 mmol/L but more specifically an LDL cholesterol of > 4.9mmol/L. • If on the retest the LDL is >4.9 mmol/L, exclude secondary causes of hypercholesterolaemia. These are: (a) Hypothyroidism (measure TSHlevels) (b) Renal impairment (measure creatinine) (c) Obstructive liver disease (measure liver function tests) (d) Diabetes (using a fasting blood glucose measure) – usually associated with hypertriglyceridaemia • If secondary causes of hypercholesterolaemia have been excluded, or the patient continues to have a high cholesterol despite management of the secondary cause, then the patient should be referred to a local lipid clinic. The clinic will carry out further tests and take a detailed family history for the confirmation of the diagnosis. If not confirmed, the patient will be referred back to the GP. If confirmed the clinic will, initiate intensive statin therapy and cascade testing of affected relatives. Usually once the NICE recommend lipid lowering for FH patients is achieved (target of 50% lowering of pre- treatment LDL cholesterol) the patient will be discharged back to the GP for a shared care arrangement and agreed annual review schedule as recommended by the NICE guidelines.

While an LDL of 4.9-5.5 can be diagnostic of FH, it can also be due to “polygenic” causes. Conversely, in an individual with LDL levels over 6.0 mmol/L polygenic causes are much less likely, and a diagnosis of FH is very much more likely. 2 Individuals who report having relatives with either elevated cholesterol levels and or early heart disease are very likely to have monogenic FH and should definitely be referred. The NICE guideline suggests using the criteria for early CHD as under 55 years in a first-degree male relative and under 65 in a first-degree female relative. With Electronic Blood Pressure Monitors • The patient should be seated for at least 5 minutes, relaxed and not moving or speaking; • The arm must be supported at the level of the heart. Ensure no tight clothing constricts the arm; • Place the cuff on neatly with the centre of the bladder over the brachial artery. The bladder should encircle at least 80% of the arm (but not more than 100%); • Some monitors allow manual blood pressure setting selection where you choose the appropriate setting. Other monitors will automatically inflate and re-inflate to the next setting if required; • Repeat three times and record measurement as displayed. Initially test blood pressure in both arms and use arm with highest reading for subsequent measurement. Indication (cm)* = (cm)* = Bwidth & length (cms)* A(cm)*rc.
