Awareness saves lives – #KnowThrombosis is a global movement that we are proud to be part of to raise awareness and understanding of thrombosis and to share information on risk factors, signs & symptoms of thrombosis, clinical advancements, patient experience, updated national and global guidelines in VTE.
Working in collaboration we inform national services on evidenced practice that reduces the risk and incidence and thrombosis and proven best practice to treat and manage all those diagnosed with a DVT or PE.
#LetsTalkClots is our awareness campaign to shine a light on VTE to increase awareness and maintain NHS focus on reducing and preventing VTE events.
