Episode 2: Managing Heart Failure in Primary Care – Inside Our Long-Term Condition Pathway


Listen Later

In this episode, we explore how our team is supporting the management of heart failure within Primary Care through a structured, proactive Long-Term Condition (LTC) pathway.

Β 

Heart failure is a complex and often underdiagnosed condition that requires coordinated, ongoing care. Our approach combines data-driven case finding, personalised clinical input, and system-wide collaboration to make sure patients get the support they need at the right time.

🎧 In this conversation, we cover:

  • What our long-term condition pathway for heart failure looks like in practice
  • The role of pharmacists and the wider multidisciplinary team in patient management
  • Interventions we offer – including medication reviews, titration support, and education
  • How we reduce variation across practices while maintaining personalised care
  • Support we provide to practices and Primary Care Networks – from implementation to outcome tracking


Whether you're a clinician, PCN leader, pharmacist, or working in care transformation, this episode offers practical insights into making heart failure management more structured, equitable, and sustainable.
