About the meeting
The main aim of this meeting was to discuss the actions concerning two best practices which have been selected by Member States for transfer and scaling-up in 2017 to be co-funded from the Health Programme in 2018.
These best practices are:
1. A sustainable, active, primary prevention strategy for Cardiovascular Diseases in Italy for adults 50+ (Cardio 50)
This best practice would support interested Member States in implementing preventive programmes based on an active call of the population to identify asymptomatic individuals with unknown hypertension and/or hyperglycaemia and to offer lifestyle interventions.
2. Physical Activity on Prescription – an initiative in the Swedish healthcare system
Knowledge transfer would take place based on the successful experience of Sweden with introduction of the prescription of physical activity by general practitioners.
