NTW – Held annually in May
Hosted in the first full week of May, this is Thrombosis UK’s annual awareness week. With educational events, displays, and media activities to shine a light on thrombosis in the UK.
Everyone is invited to join in – share your story, contact your local radio station or newspaper to add NTW to their calendar, hold an awareness activity, distribute information.
Throughout NTW we will be raising awareness of blood clots. In 2025 the campaign will focus on: ‘Let’s Talk Clots.’
Blood clots can affect anyone, but knowing the risks and symptoms can save lives. Let’s Talk Clots and start the conversation!
Working together we can all make a difference in preventing harm and saving lives.
#LetsTalkClots #KnowThrombosis #ThinkThrombosis

May 2025:
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) produces guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health, and provide social care support. They are currently recruiting two new lay members to join the board to bring a perspective of patients, people who use services, and carers to selection and routing of topics.
Activity description: The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) produces guidance on the most effective ways to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and ill health, and provide social care support. It’s important that NICE prioritises those areas of guidance development that will have greatest impact on the health and care system. To help do this the NICE Prioritisation Board was set up to decide whether to select topics for guidance development. For more information, including videos explaining NICE’s approach to prioritising topics, please visit our prioritising our guidance topics webpage. We have also developed a short video to explain the role of the prioritisation board and the role of the lay member.
#1 Opportunity!
Thrombosis UK has received a request from a team of researchers at Middlesex University and Uppsala University who are looking to conduct a research study on chronic pain and are looking for potential participants who will receive free psychological therapy and lifetime access to an online therapy platform at no cost.
Study Information:
Living with chronic pain can be overwhelming, impacting both mental and physical well-being. Psychological interventions can help manage these challenges, but their effectiveness varies among individuals. The goal of the work is to understand how different people respond to Internet-based psychological therapy and determine what works best for them.
By participating, individuals will not only gain access to free therapy but also contribute to valuable research that could improve chronic pain management strategies for others.
For further information or to express interest, please email Dr. Kitty Kioskli – [email protected]

Volunteering can be a one-off or a regular commitment – what best suits you.
Examples how a volunteer might help:
1. Share their story to help others.
2. Raise a voice for thrombosis.
Each year Thrombosis UK hold awareness campaigns. Press and media coverage is critical to increasing awareness to many 1000s of people.
Would you consider sharing your story and where you are based (region), so that we can include you on our bank of volunteers we could call upon if approached by a journalist seeking to include a newspaper, TV or radio article about thrombosis?
Are you a confident communicator and comfortable presenting to an audience? Local centres seeking to deliver educational sessions for healthcare professional (HCPs) often approach Thrombosis UK and ask if we may know of a person happy to share their experience of a blood clot to help HCPs understand this from a patient perspective and experience. If you would be willing to share and present, please email [email protected].
If any of these appeal to you or if you have a skill or idea you would like to offer as a volunteer to Thrombosis UK, please email [email protected]
A global event hosted annually on 13th October World Thrombosis Day (WTD) focuses attention on thrombosis. It embraces thousands of educational events across the world, and brings together in partnership patients, healthcare professionals, policy makers, research and industry supporters to place a global spotlight on thrombosis as an urgent and growing health problem.
The Date
