Background\u00a0\u00a0 The most important cause of death, and crucially premature death, in most countries are events secondary to cardio-metabolic-renal disease (CMR). Further, CMR is the main cause of major disability and therefore health and social care expenditure as well as reduced quality of life for patients and families. Fortunately, CMR has the largest evidence base in medicine and is the focus for much innovation in healthcare interventions given the importance of CMR disease to health systems. However, unfortunately, Health systems are failing to effectively implement prevention strategies in CMR such as better identify and mitigate the common risk factors that drive CMR disease. And this is despite the WHO\u2019s priority call for increased focus on disease prevention and long-term condition (LTC) management.\u00a0 Introduction\u00a0 Professor Richard Hobbs, University of Oxford &amp; European PC Cardiovascular Society 1)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why has managing Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) become more important?\u00a015 mins Professor Raj Thakkar, GP Specialist in CVD, Primary Care Cardiovascular Society, United Kingdom 2)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0What are the key changes in guidance for blood pressure and lipid PC management? 15 mins Dr Nicholas Jones, University of Oxford &amp; EPCCS\u00a0 3)\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Is there a role for primary care in Obesity management? 15mins Professor Kamlesh Khunti, University of Leicester&amp; PCDE\u00a0 Moderated panel and audience discussion 15 mins Professor Richard Hobbs1) update on the most recent evidence for CMR 2) explore the optons for better diagnoses of CMR 3) discuss the management options to reduce the risk and nburden of CMR 4) answer queries on CMR and discuss areas of controversyInterative lecture sessions and moderated Q&amp;ANew knowledge;\u00a0Better understandings;\u00a0Practical guidance, leading to;\u00a0Improved patient careCMR disease &#8211; the most important cause of death and disability and major work impact on promary care deserves an update session<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-19922","wsa_session","type-wsa_session","status-publish","hentry","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session\/19922","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/wsa_session"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/wsa_session"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/woncaeurope2026.org\/fr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=19922"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
