WHAT IS THIS CLINIC?
This nurse led clinic is for patients who take anticoagulant medication such as warfarin who need to have their blood monitored regularly.

At this clinic a simple finger prick test is performed. An immediate result is given and the warfarin dose adjusted or continued as necessary, and a follow-up appointment is given.


HOW WILL I BENEFIT FROM THIS CLINIC?
Patients benefit from this clinic as it is important to maintain regular checks on the clotting rate of their blood while taking anticoagulants. This can all be done at the one attendance and patients do not have to wait for results to come from the hospital laboratory and then be contacted again with dosage instructions.


HOW DO I ACCESS THIS CLINIC?
Patients can access this clinic by making an appointment through Reception staff or Practice Nurses at The Health Centre
