Cardiovascular study wins public health award after saving man’s life
A first-of-its-kind cardiovascular study has won the Gippsland Public Health Network awards for 2022. More than 500 Gippslanders participated in the study, by accessing a 15-minute free heart health screening in May and June. The pharmacist-led screenings were part of the Gippsland Healthy Heart Study, a collaborative project delivered by API, SiSU Health, Latrobe Health Services, Priceline Pharmacy and supported by Abbott and Novartis, under the supervision of Professor Stephen Nicholls from Monash University
