Beyond the Test: Can Community Pharmacy Transform Cardiovascular Prevention?

In this episode of PCCS Unscripted, Dr Sotiris Antoniou joins Dr Xenophon Kassianides to explore how innovative diagnostics and community pharmacy services can bring cardiovascular prevention closer to patients. Drawing on the ELoPe-CVD programme, they discuss the role of point-of-care testing, earlier risk identification and integrated care in tackling health inequalities. Crucially, they examine how we can move beyond simply generating more health data to ensuring that detection translates into meaningful clinical interventions and better patient outcomes.
