NICE guidelines [CG180] Published date: June 2014 Interventions to prevent stroke • Anticoagulation may be with apixaban, dabigatran etexilate, rivaroxaban or a vitamin K antagonist. • Offer anticoagulation to people with a CHA 2 DS 2 - VASc score of 2 or above, taking bleeding risk into account. [new 2014]

NICE guidelines [CG180] Published date: June 2014 Atrial fibrillation: the management of atrial fibrillation • Treatment and care should take into account individual needs and preferences • Patients should have the opportunity to make informed decisions about their care and treatment, in partnership with their healthcare professionals

NOAC clinic referral process • Anticoagulation clinic accepts referral from within the organisation, GPS and external organisation • EPR referral – not on warfarin referral • EPR letter referral

Referral requirement • Patient should have base line of HB, LFT and creatinine levels at least within the last month • If the patient has been commenced on the NOAC already please give the patient blood request form. Ask patient to organise the blood test to be done a week before they attend the NOAC clinic

Royal Free London NHS . NHS Foundation Trust Involving patients in decisions about prescribed medicines � Communication skills central � Patient involvement – patients differ in how much involvement they want � Patient perspective is different from professional perspective � Information – patients cannot decide on involvement and decision unless they have information

Royal Free London NHS . NHS Foundation Trust Perspective of guideline � Patient’s right to be involved in decisions about their care � Patient’s right not to take medicines � Medicine-taking is a complex behaviour � Patient’s act according to their own understanding of their problem and the medicine, and the place of this problem in their lives. � Dynamic process – ongoing evaluation and decisions by patient

Royal Free London NHS . NHS Foundation Trust Increasing patient involvement � Clearly explain the condition and the pros and cons of treatment….what does this treatment do? � Clarify what the patient hopes the treatment will achieve � Talk and listen to the patient and note any non-verbal cues rather than make assumptions about patients’ preferences about treatment � Help patients to make decisions based on likely benefits and risks rather than misconceptions.
