Risk assessments are a comprehensive evaluation conducted to identify and mitigate potential hazards or risks that could impact the safety, well-being, and quality of life of service users, staff, and visitors. The assessment aims to ensure that the service provides a safe and secure environment conducive to the physical, mental, and emotional health of all individuals involved.

This risk assessment relates to anticoagulants. Anticoagulants are medicines that help prevent blood clots. They’re given to people at a high risk of getting clots, to reduce their chances of developing serious conditions such as strokes and heart attacks.
