69 Identifying opportunities to prevent AF-related stroke through better access to NHS primary and secondary care data

Introduction: Public Health England (PHE) has set a target to reduce the incidence of avoidable strokes in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) by 5,000 nationally over the next 5 years. Aligned with this goal, Greater Manchester (GM) Academic Health Sciences Network (AHSN) launched an online data visualisation platform in 2015 that provides a unique opportunity to view and compare multiple primary and secondary care datasets across the AF care pathway to help prevent avoidable AF-related strokes. It is endorsed by PHE and has been adopted by multiple AHSNs across the country.
