Update information

Minor changes since publication

August 2025: We removed reference to a full formal risk assessment using the QRISK3 tool as being a national priority for quality improvement, from the rationale of this indicator. This was a result of a major update to NICE's quality standard on cardiovascular risk assessment and lipid modification in July 2025.

April 2024: We updated links to source guidance NG238 and added expected population size.
