INR Testing
This INR Testing course provides healthcare professionals with essential knowledge and practical understanding of anticoagulation and INR monitoring in primary care. The session builds on current practice and introduces the key principles behind INR testing, how results are influenced, and how to recognise readings that require urgent action.
Delegates will explore why anticoagulation is used, how medications and diet impact INR levels, and how to safely interpret in‑house patient testing. The course supports confident, safe decision‑making and strengthens the ability to identify abnormal results that may indicate increased clinical risk.
