Project aims:
- To address atrial fibrillation (AF) in primary care in terms of diagnosis; appropriate treatment; and provision of arrhythmia clinics/pathways/service.
Working with 18 cardiac networks, PCTs and others on primary care development to help establish a target cohort of practices. Local working groups will then be set up to offer direct support to practices in developing their approaches to atrial fibrillation identification and treatment.
Outcomes from the project include:
- Numbers of new patients with AF identified and their treatment;
- Numbers of existing AF patients reviewed;
- Establishment of a clear and agreed patient pathway for AF patients
