AF review funded by Bayer - updated 30th Aug

Today I had a letter from my GP surgery asking me to make a telephone appointment to review my AF. It's a 20 minute appointment with a "clinical pharmacist who is working with the practice to discuss my AF and AF management" and is fully funded by Bayer. They also want a recent blood test (liver and kidney function) and blood pressure and weight. I'm on Warfarin so wondering if they are going to ask me to change to DOAC....Has anybody else had a letter from their GP?

UPDATE- I had the phone call today and it was as expected, they wanted to discuss changing me from Warfarin to one of the new anticoagulants. I explained that I have a genetic bleeding disorder and have been advised to stay on Warfarin, end of phone call.

So annoying when people can't be upfront about what the call was related to, but I guessed before you said!
