high quality health care service.
Practice level training sessions were delivered to practice clinicians prior to
patient reviews’ taking place and the review work was completed in thirtyseven of the thirty-eight Barnsley practices by mid-September 2013.
Primary care review work identified that a large proportion of patients were
coded as having untreated AF using the GRASP –AF tool, where the AF had
actually resolved, been misdiagnosed or miscoded (including CHADS2 score
< 2) and this accounted for approximately one fifth (22.5%) of the original
identified sample.
Bleeding risk death, frailty, cognitive or functional decline and patient
preference were issues in contraindication or non-concordance (declining)
anticoagulant therapy and accounted for a further three fifths (57.9%) of the
identified sample.
Of the remaining fifth (19.5%) of eligible patients, 151/189 (80%) were
successfully initiated on an oral anti-coagulant and only 6 /189 (0.6%) had not
had a review by end of the agreed monitoring period and were followed up
until all reviews had been completed.
A Patient Experience Questionnaire was randomly sent to fifty seven
(37.7%) patients who were started on an oral anticoagulant. Twenty nine
questionnaires were returned and gave a very positive overall response , in
that the majority of patients were very satisfied with reviews which had been
undertaken, the information received and preferred being managed close to

The CVD Outcomes Strategy predicts that 18% of those persons
with Atrial Fibrillation are undiagnosed, and states that there is a
need for patents to be diagnosed earlier; have you taken steps to
achieve higher levels of, and earlier, diagnosis?
a. If so, what steps?
The CCG have tried to standardise diagnostic equipment held by all GP
practices across Barnsley. We have purchased blood pressure monitors that
can detect AF and also ECG machines so that all practices have the same
basic level of equipment. This means that if a healthcare assistant who may
not be trained to detect AF via taking a pulse does a blood pressure they may
incidentally detect AF during a health check as they would be alerted by the
equipment and then the practice would be able to perform an ECG to confirm
the diagnosis.
If not, why not? N/A
4.
The draft NICE guideline on AF suggests that the prescription of
aspirin as a treatment for Atrial Fibrillation must be discouraged and
removed from all guidance.
a. Is aspirin included in local guidance as a treatment for Atrial
Fibrillation?
b. Have you advised clinicians that aspirin is no longer a
recommended anticoagulation treatment for AF?
I have attached a copy of resource materials which went as guidance to
clinicians as part of training referred to in response to Q2, this was coupled
with local training sessions as referred to in Q2. This complies with NICE
guidance.
5.
In terms of treatment options for AF, alternatives to Aspirin and
Warfarin include the NICE-approved Novel Oral Anti-Coagulants
(NOACs) Apixaban, Dabigatran and Rivaroxaban. Do you operate
internal guidance that supersedes NICE recommendations? If so,
please provide details.

FoI Request No: 59 – received 9 May 2014
1. Please provide the number of patient referrals funded
by the CCG for access to health services from each
named AQP provider for each service delivered via Any
Qualified Provider in 2013/14
I would like the information arranged in a specific way,
preferably in an Excel file. The patient numbers should be
broken down first by AQP service, and then further by
named provider. For example, audiology services may
have been made available under AQP - in this case,
patient numbers should be broken down by each named
audiology AQP provider.
To give a hypothetical example of how the information
should be provided:
AQP service: Audiology
Providers:
Specsavers - 238 referrals
Easthampton NHS Hospital Trust - 106 referrals
Old Oak Surgery - 86 referrals
If any provider is registered under more than one AQP
service, please provide their figures separately for each
AQP service. This request is only for patients referred
under AQP arrangements, not for patients referred to
AQP providers for non-AQP services (e.g. "complex
cases" referred to NHS providers outside AQP criteria).
In terms of definitions, "the number of patient referrals
funded by the CCG for access to health services" is
simply how many patient referrals were made by the
CCG to each provider under the AQP arrangements.
Patients can choose which provider they are referred to.
but this should still be considered a "referral" for the
purposes of this request. I am assuming the information
is recorded by referral numbers rather than individual
patient numbers; if the reverse is true, then please
provide the information for patient numbers, stating
clearly that this is the case. "Funded by the CCG" simply
means NHS patients. "Access to health services" again
simply means to receive care or treatment from the
provider under the AQP arrangements.
