Oral anticoagulants for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation - Educational Visit - 31/03/2025 - 31/12/2025
Date: 31/03/2025 Location: Other
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a leading cause of stroke in Australia, significantly increasing morbidity and mortality, particularly in high-risk populations. Despite advancements in screening and anticoagulation therapy, challenges remain in identifying at-risk patients, initiating and monitoring direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs), and ensuring long-term adherence to treatment and lifestyle modifications.This interactive program provides GPs with practical, evidence-based strategies to enhance AF detection, assess stroke and bleeding risks, and optimise anticoagulation management. Through case-based discussions, participants will gain the skills to improve screening, support shared decision-making, and reduce AF-related complications in primary care.
