The number of undetected cases of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) in south east London has grown following reduced face to face appointments during the pandemic. The NHS Long Term Plan states that where 100 people with AF are identified and receive anticoagulation medication, an average of four strokes are averted, preventing serious disability or even death.
General information
South East London Integrated Care Board (SEL ICB), Clinical Effectiveness South East London (CESEL) and the Health Innovation Network (HIN) South London are delivering a programme to support delivery of a Detect, Protect, Perfect approach for Atrial Fibrillation. The programme will provide AF detection devices in a range of settings in south east London.
