306 The Changing Face of Stroke in the DOAC Era
ConclusionThe majority of strokes occurring in anticoagulated patients are related to warfarin use.

Warfarin continues to be recommended as the first line anticoagulant for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation by the HSE Medicines Management Programme, a decision which we would argue warrants review.

Survival and outcomes for stroke survivors living in care homes: a prospective cohort study
ConclusionsRates of secondary stroke prevention prescribing increased over 20 years but remained lower in care home residents.
