Optimising Lipid Management – Resources

The following resources are available to clinicians:

In addition, the Health Innovation Network (formally AHSN) have developed the following pathways to support healthcare professionals implement NICE and other relevant evidence in lipid management in secondary prevention. They should be considered alongside other relevant guidance e.g the National Guidance for Lipid Management Pathway (above) and Statin Intolerance Pathway (above).
