Warfarin Monitoring Clinic
Warfarin is a drug which can prevent life threatening conditions. However, it can be dangerous if people taking it are not monitored regularly and advised which dose to take. Recent changes have been made to the way we prescribe it.
When a patient requests a prescription for warfarin, the doctor must check that the necessary monitoring has been carried out. We can no longer prescribe warfarin “as directed” and the specific dose must be stated on the prescription.
Nurse led Warfarin clinics
We run Health Care Assistant led warfarin clinics for patients who are already classed as being stable on the drug. The HCAs are supervised by a GP who leads this in the practice. Patients are booked in with the HCA at regular intervals and their blood levels are checked to ensure they can safely continue taking the blood thinning agents.
