PocDoc, the UK’s leading UK digital diagnostics company, today announced a first of its kind partnership with IQVIA, a global provider of advanced analytics, technology and clinical research services to the life sciences industry, designed to help identify cardiovascular risk at scale and create more connected pathways between screening and care.

For the first time, GP surgeries across the Thames Valley are offering home finger-prick heart checks. BBC South Today was there to meet a patient whose routine asthma appointment turned into a potentially life-changing discovery.

Scotland's next big step in heart health starts at the pharmacy counter. Come and meet PocDoc at the Scottish Pharmacy Trade & Retail Show in Falkirk on 15–16 September, and see how a ten-minute check could help tackle the nation's biggest killer.

From the Shetland Islands to Jersey, from Belfast to Cornwall, at least one person in every single UK postcode area has now completed a Healthy Heart Check. All 124 areas. 100% of the map.

In a first-of-its-kind agreement, PocDoc is giving a five-site Thames Valley GP practice unlimited use of the Healthy Heart Check, so the decision to test a patient is driven by clinical need, not the cost of each check.

Cardiovascular disease claims around 5,460 lives in Greater Manchester every year. Now, in partnership with the British Heart Foundation and Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, PocDoc is bringing heart health checks directly into the communities that need them most.

Triglycerides are the most variable number in your entire blood test. A single fatty meal can move them by up to 75%. Here's what they actually are, what drives them up and down, and why one high reading is never the full story.

A pharmacist-led screening programme found elevated cardiovascular risk in one in five people tested, the majority of whom felt perfectly healthy and would never otherwise have accessed a preventative check.

Two of the most powerful forces shaping your Healthy Heart Check results are smoking and excess weight. Here's exactly how each one moves your cholesterol, blood pressure and blood sugar, and why those numbers can improve faster than you'd think.

PocDoc has been named a flagship case study in the national document setting out how innovation will deliver the NHS 10 Year Plan, with £5.1m in confirmed NHS savings, 20,000 checks delivered, and 2,100 people directed to treatment in six months.

Why would anyone choose not to know their own heart health? Psychologists call it the Ostrich Effect, and understanding it may be the key to closing the gap between a treatable risk and a preventable tragedy.

A single cholesterol result is useful, but it's a snapshot, not a sentence. PocDoc co-founder Dr Vlad Gubala explains why your number naturally moves, what actually drives it, and why one reading should never be mistaken for a diagnosis.
