The pro forma will be sent to Health Board stroke teams at the end of every month by the NHS Wales Delivery Unit. This will then require population with the Health Board data and returned by a set date on a quarterly basis. The data will then be collated alongside other stroke quality improvement measures at the NHS Wales Delivery Unit.
The inclusion of the workforce compliance measure is a key evidence-based metric for stroke services that also support the vision of stroke services in Wales. Following engagement with the clinical community, this was identified as a metric for inclusion in the 2021 Delivery Framework.
This information is currently not collected on a regular basis from Health Boards by the NHS Wales Delivery Unit and a pro forma has been developed to collect this data on a monthly basis. This is a Sentinel Stroke National Audit Programme (SSNAP) measure but is currently only collected in a two-yearly organisational audit.
