Conference Description:
The introduction of the direct oral anticoagulants has drastically changed the treatment options for patients in need of anticoagulation and has come with advantages but also new challenges such as safeguarding that these drugs are appropriately prescribed by physicians and taken by patients. In both aspects, pharmacists play a crucial role that will be discussed among other items such as anticoagulation in complex patients, perioperative management and bridging, when to combine anticoagulants with antiplatelet therapy, management of side effects and many other aspects.
These items will be covered during plenary sessions and oral communications, and further elaborated during different hands-on workshops. The mix between theory and practice is what makes this International Workshop so tangible and useful in daily practice. It will give you the opportunity to increase your knowledge as well as your skills regarding these lifesaving but also potentially hazardous drugs. For that purpose, key opinion leaders and scientists are awaiting you to share their experiences and to demonstrate how to reach excellence in anticoagulation care. So, if you are working in the domain of anticoagulation or just want to learn more about this topic, please join us at this occasion.
The workshop is suitable for pharmacists working in hospitals, community pharmacies, nursing homes, general practice, research and other.
