Primary care will be provided with support, training and resources in order to:

  1. Initiate treatment for patients currently on the AF register not receiving anticoagulation by reviewing records (GRASP AF and AF case finder) and undertaking assessments.  
  2. Undertake targeted opportunistic case finding - for AF in the over 65s population as part of seasonal flu vaccinations.  

The programme aims to:  

  1. Ensure that at least 81% of patients with AF and a CHA2DS2-VASc score of 2 or above are receiving anticoagulation (including current exceptions).
  2. Identify 600 additional people over next 5 years with undiagnosed AF who could be on preventative strategies. 
  3. Prevent 100 atrial fibrillation associated strokes over the next 5 years. 

The pages in this section provide resources for the AF stroke prevention programme.
