| Cardiovascular disease profiles
NCVIN's cardiovascular disease profiles for each CCG summarising data about cardiovascular prevalence, care processes and treatment targets, variation and complications have been updated and made available on PHE's Fingertips tool. Call for examples: how do you use NCVIN resources? We're keen to hear about ways in which you may have used our resources and information from our masterclasses on the ground. This will help our on-going work to make sure we understand what works best in terms of delivering information to you in a way which lends itself to practical application. Please email ncvin@phe.gov.uk with any examples you may have.
Emerging evidence on the NHS Health Check: findings and recommendations On 8 February 2017 the NHS Health Check Expert Scientific and Clinical Advisory Panel published its first report on the emerging evidence. The report summarises the key findings from an evidence synthesis completed by the University of Cambridge and RAND. It also makes important recommendations for practice and research. Fourth annual NHS Health Check conference held On the 9 February 2017 the fourth annual conference Getting serious about prevention 2017: improving cardiovascular health together was held which was chaired by Dr Dawn Harper. The event was a huge success with over 400 of stakeholders, including commissioners, providers and academics coming together to share, learn and act together to improve our efforts on preventing ill health and premature death from cardiovascular disease.
CVD primary care intelligence packs update The CVD primary care intelligence packs can help healthcare professionals make decisions about how to improve local primary care. There is a pack with local CVD information for each clinical commissioning group (CCG). The packs look at prevention, diagnosis, care and outcomes and allow for comparison between CCGs and between GP practices. Use the pack to identify local variation and ask questions about where and how the quality of care may be improved. Diabetes footcare activity profiles update The diabetes footcare activity profiles for each CCG will be updated shortly. They include information on the inpatient care of people with diabetes who are admitted to hospital for a range of footcare conditions. The profiles compare data from the subject CCG with similar CCGs.

The public campaign continues with materials still available to raise awareness about the importance of kidney health. Kidney Quality Improvement Partnership (KQuIP)
KQuIP have identified four regions to support with quality improvement this year: the West Midlands, Yorkshire and the Humber, the East Midlands and the North West. The renal community has identified three priority project areas: transplant first, home therapies and vascular access. KQuIP Hub - an online portal for renal improvement stories, case studies, improvement tools and methodologies - is now live. Sign up to receive KQuIP updates about progress, resources and achievements. Transforming Participation in CKD Programme (TP-CKD) update
The TP-CKD programme has published its patient activation measure and patient report outcome measure PAM/ PROM report. An interventions toolkit has also been developed by clinical staff and patients.
