UK Thrombosis Research Network (UK-TReN)

UK Thrombosis Research Network (UK-TReN) is an informal, clinician led network of healthcare professionals with an interest in thrombosis research.

Aims

  • To create a multi-disciplinary network of individuals interested in or actively pursuing thrombosis research.
  • To increase the number of CRN portfolio adopted studies pertaining to thrombosis.
  • To increase clinician/scientist collaboration in thrombosis.
  • To join INVENT, thereby enhancing international collaboration.

Who can join?

Anyone who is interested in thrombosis research!

All allied health professionals, doctors, midwives, nurses, and scientists are welcome.

What are the benefits of joining?

  • Ease of access to research-active multi-disciplinary collaborators nationally
  • Cross-fertilisation between basic scientists and clinicians
  • Influence the future direction of UK-TReN as it forms
  • Future access to INVENT benefits (if application successful) https://www.invent-vte.com/
    • access to funding opportunities (Dragons’ Den Competition; Kickstarter Awards, ISTH-INVENT Fellowship Awards) and resources
    • Training/networking opportunities for HaemSTAR/other registrar groups
    • participate in network collaborations, projects, and educational seminars
    • participate in networking events
    • Voting on INVENT Council with international key opinion leaders to help foster international collaboration in clinical VTE research (2 Council members/country)

PETS Trial

Examining the benefit of graduated compression stockings in the Prevention of vEnous Thromboembolism in low-risk Surgical patients: a multicentre cluster

randomised controlled trial (PETS Trial) 

This study aims to evaluate the potential benefit of Graduated Compression Stockings (GCS) in the prevention of Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) in patients undergoing short-stay surgical procedures, assessed as being at low-risk for VTE.

THRomboprophylaxis in Individuals undergoing superficial endoVEnous treatment (THRIVE):

THRomboprophylaxis in Individuals undergoing superficial endoVEnous treatment (THRIVE): is a multi-centre, assessor-blind, randomised controlled trial to establish whether in patients undergoing endovenous varicose vein procedures:

  1. A single dose of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the risk of VTE
  2. An extended course of pharmacological thromboprophylaxis decreases the risk of VTE
  3. Pharmacological thromboprophylaxis is associated with an increased rate of bleeding events
  4. Providing pharmacological prophylaxis is cost-effective
  5. There is a signal to suggest the pharmacological agent used affects the rate of VTE

Opportunities to share your research

Let’s Talk Clots 2024 (LTC’24), a premier virtual conference dedicated to advancing the field of thrombosis research and care. This event, set to take place in October 2024, offers healthcare professionals an exceptional opportunity to present their work, share insights, and collaborate with peers from around the globe.

Attendees are invited to submit summary abstracts for consideration by the LTC’24 Committee. Successful submissions will be showcased as e-Posters in our virtual Exhibition Hall. Covering a wide array of crucial topics, including Coagulation & Natural Anticoagulants, COVID-related thrombosis issues, and Patient-centred care delivery, LTC’24 aims to foster meaningful discussions and drive forward the standards of care in thrombosis management.

Join us in this collaborative effort to enhance understanding, innovation, and patient outcomes in the realm of thrombosis.
