Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the main causes of death and disability in the UK. However, leading a healthy lifestyle can greatly prevent it. Sadly, many people only realise this when it's too late and they end up in A&E. That's why, during British Heart Week, we took action to raise awareness among our associates about the importance of understanding lipid profiles, ‘knowing their numbers’ and how they affect our heart health. Teaming up with LetsGetChecked, we provided free cholesterol testing and organised an educational event on cardiovascular health. Our main goal was to highlight how crucial it is to take charge of our heart health and identify our own personal risks. Early detection and proactive management can make a significant difference. Join us in spreading awareness, education and action for a healthier future. #NovartisOK
