Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Audit
Purpose and outline
CVD prevent is a national primary care audit to support professionally led quality improvement in the prevention of cardiovascular events in people with and without pre-existing CVD through the detection and management of significant risk factors, including atrial fibrillation, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, non-diabetic hyperglycaemia, and chronic kidney disease (NHS RightCare CVD Prevention Pathway). The audit will automatically extract routinely held GP data via the general practice extraction service (GPES) and there will be no additional data burden for GPs.
