Community Lipid Management Service

NHS BLMK CCG secured Pathway Transformation Funding (PTF) to support the adoption of a new lipid management pathway and the establishment of community lipid services and this EOI process seeks to identify and select a suitable provider to deliver the community lipid service. The purpose of the Community Lipid Service is to provide a consistent, evidence-based approach to lipid management across BLMK CCG. The Community Lipid Clinic will form part of a new pathway developed with key stakeholders across BLMK, in line with evidenced-based best practice. The service will be funded to provide clinical activity to optimise lipid management in populations at very high risk of CVD (as defined by the commissioner) and provide clinical assessment for familial hypercholesterolemia in people meeting appropriate clinical criteria (as defined by the commissioner), in line with locally developed evidence-based pathways. The Community Lipid Clinic will accept referrals of people meeting the relevant clinical criteria who are registered with a GP practice in Bedfordshire, Luton and Milton Keynes Integrated Care System.
