Overview: 

Warfarin management in primary care has been an established service which has significantly improved patient care in terms of access and choice. Without appropriate training and critical regular updates to meet nationally and locally defined competencies this service cannot be delivered safely and effectively.

Refresher courses are recommended at least every 3 years to maintain competencies. This course is designed to enable competent practitioners to continue to safely and effectively manage a primary care based warfarin clinic using near patient testing for INR estimating, interpreting INR results and determining the dose of warfarin in order to maintain results within their appropriate therapeutic ranges.

Learning Objectives: 

The training enables practitioners to:
❖ Review previous learning and identify learning gaps
❖ Update knowledge with respect to latest local and national guidelines
❖ Review management of patients and improve quality and safety
❖ Check understanding of local service specification requirements
❖ Reflect on current practice and identify changes to improve patient outcomes
❖ Consider case studies and problem-based learning
❖ Bring your own examples including tricky patients and difficult queries
❖ Share good practice with peers
❖ Upgrade knowledge and understanding via interactive poll based learning

Direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs – formerly known as NOACs) are covered briefly, in context of treatment options, as essential learning in the appropriate management of a diverse range of patients. The training covers an overview of the basics which includes switching patients from warfarin to DOACs, appraisal of DOACs, Place in treatment, Indications and risks.
