What local incentives each NHS board has put in place to support warfarin clinics.

Comprehensive information on each board is not held centrally. Eight boards are participating in the ‘Warfarin bundle’ element of the Primary care patient safety programme, which supports safer medicines practice. More broadly the service configurations chosen across acute and primary provision are entirely operational matters for the territorial health board and Scottish Ministers do not direct or intervene in these local arrangements. These local guidelines will reflect Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN) Guideline 129 Antithrombotics: indications and management published in June 2013.
