Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

One of the most common presentations to ED is chest pain, with the rapid rule out of heart attacks in the emergency department being common place. This moves a new onus of responsibility to the ED; the care of long term heart disease. A study conducted locally demonstrated that patient's with a heart attack ruled out felt the 'what next' question is not answered sufficiently at present. The strength of this opportunity is re-enforced by studies suggesting that chest pain presents a teachable moment where patients are more accepting of advice.

The study's overarching goal is to improve heart disease care (cardiovascular disease).The early warning signs for heart disease can be detected and treated enabling patients to live longer and healthier lives.

This is where it is believed that the Emergency Department (ED) can improve, EDs already collect the vast majority of data required to detect these early warning signs. In the United Kingdom more than 23.8 million attendances were registered last year, and ED is currently underusing a large amount of patient data of potentially great value to the population.

The study aims to explore the best way to use this long term heart disease prediction; how to communicate it to patients, who prescribes the necessary medication, who issues lifestyle advice, and who follows it up.

The investigators intend to answer these questions with a series of semi-structured interviews. The study will comprise of initial semistructured interviews made up of emergency medicine consultants, general practitioners, nurses, and patients. Then building on the knowledge gained from the initial interviews it is planned to build a prototype care pathway that will be explored in the second set of interviews.
