• Research summary

  This study seeks to improve access to lipid testing in out-of-surgery locations using PocDoc, a UKCA approved IVD device that measures a full 5 marker lipid panel using a smartphone or tablet. The study will investigate whether PocDoc can close the gap in people not tested by exploring 3 new out-of-surgery methods:
  1) Lipid testing conducted in pharmacy or at-home for high-risk individuals on existing CVD register who have not attended in-surgery appointments
  2) Footfall lipid testing conducted in pharmacy for individuals visiting or passing by pharmacies
  3) Corporate wellness lipid testing performed by employers for employees as part of an organised corporate wellness check
