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.
