Connected Pharmacy Online Patient Safety Workshop on DOAC Prescribing and Safety Tuesday October 4th: 12.30pm to 1.30pm
The next Connected Pharmacy Patient Safety Workshop on DOAC Prescribing and Safety will be held on-line on Tuesday October 4th from 12.30pm to 1.30pm. So far, over one hundred pharmacists and technicians registered, but there is capacity for many more.
DID YOU KNOW?
- 155,000 people in England may be on the incorrect dose of DOAC for non-valvular AF.
- For every 25 people on a dose above the manufacturer recommended dose for a year, it is estimated that 1 will suffer a major bleed who would not have if the dose had been correct.
- Underdosing may leave patients exposed to the original risk of stroke, meaning 1 in 25 patients with NVAF will go on to have a stroke if not adequately anticoagulated for 18 months.
You are invited to a lunch time session on Patient Safety, focusing on DOAC Prescribing and Safety. This free online event takes place on Tuesday 4th October 2022, 12.30-1.30pm via Zoom.
The session will be introduced by Richard Seal, Midlands Regional Chief Pharmacist and we are delighted that Tony Jamieson, National Patient Safety Lead, MedSIP, will be joining us to speak on this important topic.
Furthermore, it will provide you with a chance to network with colleagues within your locality and consider what YOU can do as a system and as an individual pharmacist or technician to improve patient safety with DOACs.
This event is open to pharmacists and their teams from all system areas across the Midlands.
