The Cardiovascular Disease and Respiratory (CVDR) Networks, together with the Diabetes Network, is delighted to publish its 21-22 Annual Report.

The CVDR networks support the complete pathways of care across a range of long-term conditions across the East of England region.

They provide leadership and focus by bringing together multi-professional stakeholders from all providers and commissioners from across the region.

Their ambition is to seek regional solutions to common issues and provide the necessary support for these pathways, as well as developing better ways to support patients and optimise their treatment and outcomes.

The CVDR networks include:

• Cardiac Clinical Network
• Integrated Stroke Delivery Networks
• Respiratory Clinical Network
• Long COVID Clinical Network
• Diabetes Clinical Network

This year marks the first year for the establishment of most of these CVDR networks, at a time when the NHS has undergone considerable challenges and changes because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
