Updated Cardiovascular disease profiles published We have just published updated versions of the Cardiovascular disease (CVD) profiles on PHE's Fingertips tool. There are CVD profiles for each clinical commissioning group (CCG), looking at coronary heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease and stroke. The profiles compare the subject CCG with data for England, a group of similar CCGs and its sustainability transformation partnership (STP). Estimates of patients having a first stroke in England published A new report has been published which gives estimates of the number of patients experiencing their first ever stroke in England. It can help healthcare professionals understand national stroke incidence and what this might mean for their population. Some of the data presented in the report shows variation in stroke incidence over time, sex, age, deprivation and ethnicity. The estimates of stroke are derived from primary care data that PHE holds, in particular, data from The Health Improvement Network (THIN) GP database has been used. New report about the Healthier You: NHS Diabetes Prevention Programme A new report looks at the early progress of the programme. It compares the number of referrals made into the programme against the target, showing that at 43,603 referrals, there were 16% more than expected. Uptake into the programme was also higher than that initially modelled, with 49% of those referred attending the initial assessment. Lastly the report looks at the characteristics of those attending which suggests that the programme is reaching those who are both at greater risk of developing Type 2 diabetes and who typically access healthcare less effectively. Updated 'how can we do better?' packs for atrial fibrillation and blood pressure available The 'how can we do better packs' are published in partnership with the Stroke Association, British Heart Foundation and others. They give practical tips to GP practices and CCGs on how they can get better at preventing and treating strokes and high blood pressure. There are updated intelligence packs for atrial fibrillation and packs for blood pressure for each CCG. Cardiovascular disease action plan This document highlights some of PHE's work to address cardiovascular disease that took place in the 2016 to 2017 financial year. It also gives an overview of PHE's major initiatives on cardiovascular disease in 2017 to 2018. Thirdly, it underlines PHE's role in providing leadership and support to the NHS and wider partners.
NICOR The National Cardiac Audit Programme (NCAP) is hosted by Barts Health NHS Trust and commissioned by the Healthcare Quality Improvement Partnership (HQIP). The National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) is the delivery arm of Barts Health responsible for the design, implementation and delivery of NCAP, covering six clinical domains. A single audit report with a quality improvement focus will be published in summer 2018 covering all six domains and additional data made available online. NICOR is in the process of engaging with stakeholders including clinicians, hospital staff, commissioners, regulators and patients. To be involved please contact NICOR. Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) Fourth SSNAP Annual report published The Fourth SSNAP Annual report is now available. It covers stroke care received from April 2016 to March 2017 and focuses on how regional and local hospital teams are using SSNAP data to improve services. Data analysis is currently underway for the August – November 2017 reporting period, results will be published in March 2018. Think Kidneys Transforming participation in chronic kidney disease (CKD) programme closes The UK Renal Registry's (UKRR) Transforming participation in CKD programme has now closed. Thanks to further funding from NHS England however, the UKRR will continue collecting patient reported measures alongside the clinical data that currently makes up the UKRR Annual Report, and will work to ensure the systems in place to support this are embedded and sustainable. The team will also continue to work in partnership with renal teams to explore how these measures can be used in practice. You can read more about the achievements of the programme, and what is next in the latest newsletter. NHS RightCare Preventing and managing stroke: NHS RightCare pathway published As part of the ongoing commitment by NHS England to prevent stroke and improve treatment and outcomes, NHS RightCare has published the NHS RightCare Pathway for stroke. Developed with the Stroke Association, the pathway details interlocking components for an optimal system for prevention and management of stroke and the priority higher value interventions that local health economies should focus on to address variation, improve outcomes, reduce cost and contribute toward a sustainable NHS.
