- Identify your personal cardiovascular risk score and use cholesterol test results to take targeted, life-saving action before symptoms ever appear.
- Evaluate the latest cholesterol-lowering medications, from statins to PCSK9 inhibitors, and understand when lifestyle changes alone are not enough.
- Design a personalised cholesterol management plan combining diet, exercise, stress reduction and medication to achieve and sustain optimal lipid targets.
- Recognise familial hypercholesterolaemia and other inherited lipid disorders, and know exactly what steps to take when diagnosed or when a family member is at r.

Requirements
If you feel your current approach to cholesterol is “good enough,” but not truly confident or up to date, this diploma is designed for you. You will move from memorising targets to understanding the “why” behind every decision, so your management becomes faster, safer, and more consistent in real clinical practice.
What you will be able to do after this diploma
- Rapidly assess cardiovascular risk and decide who truly needs treatment now vs later, avoiding both over- and under-treatment.
- Choose and titrate statins and non-statin therapies using current, evidence-based algorithms, instead of guesswork.
- Handle “difficult” scenarios: statin intolerance, polypharmacy, complex comorbidities, and older or frail patients.
- Explain risks and benefits to patients in clear language that improves adherence and reduces complaints.
- Confidently manage secondary prevention in patients with established ASCVD, diabetes, CKD, and familial hypercholesterolaemia.
- Integrate lifestyle, pharmacology, and follow-up planning into one coherent, repeatable approach for every patient.
Who this diploma is for
- Clinicians who worry about “missing something” in lipid results or guideline changes.
- Doctors, trainees, pharmacists, and allied professionals who want a clear, practical system rather than dense theory.
- Busy practitioners who want to stop re-reading guidelines before every difficult case.
How the course keeps you engaged
- Short, focused lessons that target one decision at a time, so you always feel a small “win” and clear progress.
- Realistic clinical cases that force you to think, decide, and then see the evidence behind the answer.
- Checklists, simple frameworks, and “if/then” patterns you can apply on the ward, in clinic, or in primary care.
By the end of this diploma, you will have a structured, evidence-based way to manage cholesterol that you can trust under pressure, even in complex patients. Instead of hoping your decision is correct, you will know exactly why you chose each target, drug, and follow-up plan.
