The
project has now moved into an exciting second phase. Detailed
plans have been submitted to the Scottish Executive and
the project has been awarded £4.3 million funding
for a further three years (to February 2008).
Through the combined efforts of its partners, Have a Heart
Paisley is now delivering a targeted programme for those
most at risk of developing heart disease, identified as
the 45-60 age group, and those with heart disease in Paisley.

 |
The aim is to demonstrate the degree to which preventive
measures can improve heart health by tackling risk factors
(smoking, unhealthy eating & lack of physical activity)
and unmet treatment need. This new phase of activities
allows the project to build on what has been achieved
so far, in order to continue to work towards making a
real and lasting difference to the heart health of the
people of Paisley.
Activities will draw on the best available evidence both
locally and nationally. Emerging lessons will continue
to be disseminated in order to help guide future policy
and practice in the prevention and treatment of heart
disease in Scotland.
The Heart Health Learning Network plays a key role in
this activity. |
