Better care for major health conditions Cardio-Vascular Disease (CVD) and Stroke

• Intervention – Improved access to the NHS Health Check in high risk groups
• Intervention – Optimising treatment of high-risk conditions (AF, BP, statins). Making health inequalities a central theme of the CVD prevention programme. CVDPREVENT, the new national primary care audit for CVD prevention will under pin this programme by providing real time data to spotlight gaps, inequalities and opportunities for improvement, and to monitor improvement and impact on inequalities.
• Intervention – CVD Intervention Type – out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA); Intervention – Bystander cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) – Data analysis to identify and support local CPR training needs. Commissioners should be directing providers to provide good quality data on OHCA incidence and bystander cardiac pulmonary resuscitation (BCPR) through the out-of-hospital cardiac arrest outcome registry to support national and local analysis.
