Factfiles

Factfiles are produced for GPs to give clear, concise and up-to-date information on issues relating to heart health.

Factfile authors are experts in their field and the text is reviewed by a panel of health professionals to ensure that a balanced article is produced.

Factfile launched in 1985 and you can download any issue produced from 1998 onwards as a PDF. Up to twelve issues are published per year. Please note that some articles have been superseded and older Factfiles may contain out of date information.

Factfile is distributed to over 50,000 GPs. New GPs can be added to the mailing list, and other health professionals are encouraged to download issues to help us distribute them in a cost effective way.
