108appropriate anticoagulation in older adults with atrial fibrillation
Introduction: Anticoagulation is recommended to prevent stroke in atrial fibrillation. NICE Guidelines state anticoagulation should be offered to all patients with a CHADVASC of 2 and above.

89implementing evidence based practice: an audit of intermittent pneumatic compression (ipc) prescription in stroke at a district stroke centre

DVT risk is highest amongst stroke patients following immobilisation and NICE (CG 92) recommends application of IPC devices and documentation of a decision for or against them in this high risk patient group.
