Medicines Monitoring

Anticoagulation treatment monitoring

Patients on anticoagulation treatment (warfarin) can now have their regular monitoring blood tests and dosage adjustment carried out at the surgery. If you are currently attending a hospital anticoagulation monitoring clinic and would like to take advantage of this service, please speak to your doctor.  

Rheumatology treatment monitoring

Some patients under the care of the Rheumatology Department require regular blood tests to monitor the safety of their treatment. Under a ‘shared care’ protocol, we are now starting to undertake monitoring blood tests for some patients. If you would like to use this service, please speak to your hospital specialist at your next visit and ask if you could have your blood test monitoring carried out here at the surgery.
