National Cardiac Audit Programme

This work aims to:

• improve data quality
• provide useful and timely reports
• provide support tools to aid quality improvement programmes and trust improvement work

Through this work we are supporting local, regional and national initiatives to improve quality of care for patients with cardiovascular disease.

As a result of our work, the 2018 NCAP aggregate report reached a major milestone, succeeding in bringing together the six individual cardiac domains, documenting the history and development of the audits over time and introducing more explicit Quality Improvement (QI) themes. The 2019 report had an even greater focus on QI and was tailored to different audiences, both technical and patient/public.
