The PHASES Clinical Advisory Group has completed development of the intervention model that will guide how the project supports the early identification and management of cardiovascular disease (CVD) in general practice.

Designed with a whole-of-practice lens, the model outlines a proactive and systematic approach that includes:

• Leveraging Primary Sense to identify patients at highest risk using key clinical criteria
• Recalling patients to confirm risk using the AusCVD Risk Calculator
• Supporting patients through tailored lifestyle advice and/or medication

Over the next three months, the Project Delivery Group will begin translating this model into on-the-ground activities, resources and support that help general practices implement the approach and achieve improvements in CVD screening and care.

This model is a key milestone for PHASES as it shifts into implementation planning, ensuring efforts are grounded in strong clinical input and scalable across the system.
