  • a There is a further QOF indicator additionally incentivising tighter BP control in patients with diabetes mellitus.

  • BP = blood pressure. CHD = coronary heart disease. COPD = chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. PAD = peripheral arterial disease. QOF = Quality and Outcomes Framework. TIA = transient ischaemic attack.
