T’UK and WTD 2018

Annually, World Thrombosis Day (WTD) takes place on 13th October, Rudolf Virchow’s birthday. Virchow was the first clinician to describe the three broad categories that are thought to contribute to thrombosis. This is known as Virchow’s triad.

Around the globe more than 1500 events take place in over 92 countries. In the UK Thrombosis UK made this the biggest WTD yet! Holding awareness stands, information events, early career healthcare professional VTE training sessions and supporting media coverage in press, radio and TV.

Take a look at just some of the events we supported! Please do send in your links and photos to add to these E: jo@thrombosisuk.org
