Scoring QOF points for stroke and TIA

In the fourth article in our series on the Quality and Outcomes Framework (QOF) we will look at stroke and transient ischaemic attack (TIA). This is an area that has probably been ignored in many practices with regard to secondary prevention. It was not included in any of the previous NSFs and there had been no targets to encourage evidence-based treatment in Primary Care, up until the arrival of the QOF.
