After Davina McCall revealed she's living with cardiovascular disease, PocDoc Clinical Director Kate Bunyan told readers of the Daily Express and the Liverpool Echo about the misconception at the heart of her story, alongside PocDoc research showing how few women see heart disease coming.
An economic evaluation published in BMC Health Services Research found that community screening with the Healthy Heart Check cost between £1,915 and £7,884 per quality-adjusted life year, below the £20,000 threshold used in the study.
PocDoc and Cumbria Health received the Digital Impact (Technological Innovation) Award at the 2025 Urgent Health UK Awards for their work in delivering digital home health checks to prevent cardiovascular disease in northern England.
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.
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.
