We are looking at ways to improve anticoagulation services. These services help people who take blood-thinners (anticoagulants) to stop their blood from clotting too easily. They are very important for keeping people safe, especially if they have conditions like atrial fibrillation, a history of strokes, or a higher risk of blood clots.

Warfarin is one well-know anticoagulant medication - for people taking Warfarin, regular blood tests (called INR tests) are needed to make sure their medication is working safely.

However, many people now take newer medications (known as Direct Oral Anticoagulants or DOACs) that don’t need these tests. This means the way services are set up may no longer meet everyone’s needs.

We want to hear from you about your experiences. Whether you use these services, care for someone who does, or work in this area, your views will help us find ways to make the service better and easier for patients.

We are also taking to people about these services at our 'Closing the Gap' events taking place across Bradford District and Craven in January.
