NICOR publishes 2024 Annual Report with new interactive reporting
NICOR recently published its National Cardiac Audit Programme (NCAP) 2024 Annual Report supported with 8 interactive sub-specialty clinical reports, and a dedicated Annual Report for Patients, Carers and the Public. The reports cover the 12 months from 1 April 2022 to 31 March 2023.
This year’s report explores potentially important post-pandemic shifts in the demand for cardiovascular services, how these are provided, and the variability experienced in different locations. Levels of activity for most cardiovascular sub-specialties have continued to improve and are higher than the levels seen in 2020/21 during the COVID-19 pandemic. Some areas remain below pre-COVID levels, most notably adult and paediatric cardiac surgery.
In addition to the annual report, NICOR presented for the first time, their new interactive reports for the 8 sub-specialties covered by the audit programme. They are produced with more detailed domain-level analyses and commentary. This allows clinicians, patients and members of the public, commissioners, and others to focus on the information that is of most interest to them (for example drilling down to explore the performance of different parts of the country and individual hospitals). These reports can be found on the NICOR website.
Understanding the continued pressures on hospitals and their clinical teams, NICOR has thanked all colleagues and stakeholders for their continued support and contribution.
Below are some of the key points raised in the NICOR 2024 annual report, you can view the annual report in full and the sub-speciality clinical reports on NICOR’s website
