About

Primary care physicians have a key role to play in the management of cardiorenal and metabolic disease

Patient education remains an important driver of patient empowerment, which will ultimately improve patients’ self-management and outcomes

The management of patients with cardiorenal and metabolic disease is built on a foundation of the essentials, such as blood pressure management, lifestyle changes and glycaemic control

Key takeaways

With the growing burden of complex conditions being managed predominantly in primary care, it is more important now, more than ever, that improvements in care are required. This requires collaboration between patients, scientists, organisations and other key stakeholders in an open science format. Additionally, patients should be empowered to ensure that they demand the necessary management of their conditions from their healthcare providers
