Lambeth and Southwark clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) delivered pharmacist-led virtual clinics to ensure all atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at risk of stroke were offered anticoagulation, if appropriate.
Over a 12-month period, the programme reviewed over 1,500 patients with AF not receiving anticoagulation, which resulted in an additional 1,200 patients being anticoagulated. The 2 CCGs have since seen a 25% reduction in the rate of AF-related stroke.
