The Cardiovascular Disease and Respiratory (CVDR) Clinical Networks, together with the Diabetes Network, is delighted to publish its 2022-23 Annual Report.

This report highlights some of the key achievements of the Networks over the last year and marks a continuing focus on supporting our partners with recovery from Covid-19 and moving forward with pathway transformation to improve the quality of care, access, and outcomes for patients.

The CVDR and Diabetes Networks aim to seek regional solutions to common issues and provide sound building blocks for the transformation of pathways, as well as looking at better ways to support providers and patients to optimise their treatment and outcomes. 2022/23 marked the second full year of the establishment of CVD-R Networks and at a time when the NHS has undergone considerable challenges and changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the formation of our new Integrated Care Systems.

This year, the Networks have focused on building these relationships with the new Integrated Care Systems as delivery partners and strengthening the governance to ensure that local and regional priorities are addressed alongside national requirements; as well as building greater partnerships with colleagues from other networks, the Academic Health Science Networks, and voluntary and third sector organisations to align our common objectives to deliver sustainable improvements.
