Well done to hospital pharmacist members! The Advanced Specialist Pharmacist validation exercise has concluded and 70% were successful. This proves that many of you were working above your paygrade. Implementation for those successful will be backdated to Sept 2024 #JoinAUnion

Is this the end of rivaroxaban for acute VTE? @LanaCastellucci presenting the COBBRA trial - 1st RCT comparing apixaban to riva over 3 months. 56% reduction in bleeding risk with apixaban. A safer Rx with the same efficacy. #ISTH2025
