We have become aware of a new issue relating to the CVD-01 indicator. It is no longer possible to select the code ‘Change of medication’, which may prevent some patients from meeting the criteria for inclusion. The other 5 methods of following up a raised blood pressure are still available to use. We are waiting to hear back from EMIS, and have made NHS Digital aware.

Have you seen the Safety Advisory Notice alert from EMIS about missing BP entries? What do you need to know? If you have edited a consultation where BP entries exist, this alert highlights that these values may have been removed. Given that many practices will be going through and tidying data for year end, there is a significant risk that you may have lost BP values. PCIT have created a search as part of our suite of MHRA, NPSA and CAS alerts searches (now updated to v3 to reflect this alert) which will highlight your affected patients. You can download these from your Enterprise unit if you have EMIS Search and Report in your area, or from the PCIT hub in the searches section. If you are not familiar with these searches, you can read our support article here: https://support.primarycareit.co.uk/portal/en-gb/kb/articles/mhra-searches The original SAN notice is available on EMIS Now at: https://www.emisnow.com/csm?sys_id=725e45961b294dd45b0bec69b04bcb22&view=sp&id=publication&table=sn_publications_publication_contact_m2m
