1. The Vision
Through the combined efforts of its partners, Have a
Heart Paisley (
HaHP) will deliver a targeted programme
for the working age population (aged 45-60), and for those
with heart disease, in Paisley. The aim is to demonstrate
the degree to which primary and secondary preventive
measures can improve heart health by tackling risk factors
and unmet needs for treatment.
Funded by the Scottish Executive Health Department,
HaHP is a partnership between
NHS Argyll and Clyde, Renfrewshire
Council, voluntary and community organisations and the
people of Paisley. The vision for the second phase has been
developed through a process of engagement with local and
national partners and draws on learning from the evaluation
of Phase 1. It has been agreed that having a narrower focus
for actions in Phase 2 will improve
HaHP's chances of making short-term and
measurable gains in heart health for the people of
Paisley.
How will the vision be realised?
This Phase 2 vision of
HaHP focussing on support for those most
at risk of developing heart disease and making services
accessible to those most in need, will be delivered through
a partnership approach that is committed to delivering
through three Dimensions of activity:
Dimension A that helps those aged 45-60 years old who
are at risk of cardiovascular disease through delivery of a
targeted primary prevention system;
Dimension B that helps those people of any age who
already have established coronary heart disease by
increasing opportunities available to make improvement to
their cardiovascular health and to improve access and
adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programmes; and
Dimension C that supports this work through enabling
participation, building confidence and increasing
skills.
