CVDPREVENT - primary care audit

CVDPREVENT
NHS England

• CVDPREVENT is a regular national primary care audit making it easier for practices to systematically identify people whose treatment could be improved, and risk reduced. It will automatically extract routinely held GP data covering diagnosis and management of six high risk conditions that cause stroke, heart attack and dementia: atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, non-diabetic hyperglycaemia and chronic kidney disease. It will support primary care in understanding how many patients with the high-risk conditions are potentially undiagnosed, under treated or over treated.
