A multidisciplinary team from HEDS has created a Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) Prevention Return on Investment (ROI) tool, published on the Public Health England website. The tool provides local commissioners with the potential cost savings and benefits of optimising detection and management of high risk CVD conditions in their local areas. A series of rapid reviews provided evidence into the effectiveness and current usage of a range of interventions for CVD, whilst the modelling was based on an adaptation of the School for Public Health Research Diabetes Prevention Model. The ROI tool together with user guide and associated reports can be found at the following link: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/cardiovascular-disease-prevention-cost-effective-commissioning
