Surrey Medicines Commissioners Group
Surrey Medicines Commissioning Group recommend that patients prescribed all types of anticoagulants (warfarin and NOACs) should be given an anticoagulant alert card to carry with them. For patients taking NOACs, the card should be annotated on the reverse in the “Therapeutic range (INR)” box with the words “not applicable” or “not required for this drug”.
The cards are available for practices to order through usual NHS stationery supply routes.
See an example of the Anticoagulant Alert Card in the document below
