Opportunistic Case Finding Programme in General Practice

The Opportunistic Case Finding Programme began in early 2022.

It identifies patients at high risk for:

• cardiovascular disease
• diabetes
• chronic kidney disease

By May 2024, GPs had assessed nearly 200,000 people, enrolling many in HSE chronic disease management prevention and treatment programmes.

The report highlights a significant number of undiagnosed chronic kidney disease cases, highlighting the need to expand intervention programmes to address this gap.
