Celebrating success: November general practice briefings

The first PHASES general practice briefing session held on 11 and 25 November were a great success.

Webinars brought together practices, ACCHOS and PHNs across Queensland to introduce the PHASES initiative, its goals and how positive action can strengthen cardiovascular prevention.

Despite sudden storm events and power outages across South East Queensland, 103 participants joined across the two briefing sessions, demonstrating a strong commitment to improving patient outcomes.

You can watch or listen to the recorded sessions on our resources page.

Funded by the Queensland Health Clinical Research Fellowship, the PHASES Linkage project connects general practice cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk data with hospitalisation and mortality data. This study aims to better understand how CVD risk impacts hospitalisation rates and assess the accuracy of the new CVD risk prediction equation in identifying high-risk individuals within Queensland’s population. 

The project will: 

  • Estimate the number of heart attacks and strokes that could be prevented with improved treatment for high CVD risk. 
  • Identify gaps in CVD prevention to inform future care strategies. 

Running in parallel with the PHASES project, PHASES Linkage highlights the power of data-driven insights to improve cardiovascular outcomes and reduce hospitalisations.
