Written Submissions:
Please sign this petition & help us change the fact that not everyone in Scotland who takes warfarin routinely is supported or enabled to self test and self manage their condition, even where they specifically request to do so. Currently in Scotland only 1% of people receiving warfarin therapy self test.
