Applications are invited for our CPD module on Coagulation Management for Healthcare Professionals, commencing in January 2023.

4 Oct 2022

The course is structured to provide specialist training to enable healthcare professionals, working in hospitals and primary care settings, extend their professional role within the evolving clinical healthcare system.

The course will provide its students with the management skills required to operate and oversee the running of an oral anticoagulant clinic. Key features of the learning will include; the coagulation cascade; the means by which warfarin inhibits this cascade; typical drug and food interactions encountered with warfarin; how to predict typical warfarin dosages and how to understand the rationale behind a patient's International Normalised Ratio (INR); mechanisms of action, indication and drug-drug/drug-disease interactions associated with anti-coagulant medicines; the place of low molecular weight heparins in anticoagulation; new therapeutic options available.

The module involves in-person seminars over two consecutive days along supporting online content. This allows students to remain in employment throughout the course, while also giving students the opportunity to meet face-to-face with experts in coagulation management.

Applicants must be registered with the relevant professional accreditation authority and must provide proof of this registration (via professional registration number which can be verified).

Further information about this course is available here.

Closing date for applications: 31st October 2022.
