VTE.
Assess.
Prevent.
VTE (venous thrombo-embolism - the term for blood clots - DVT and Pulmonary Embolism) is a significant cause of mortality, long-term disability and chronic ill health.
It is thought that there are around 25,000 preventable deaths from VTE each year in hospitals in the UK (that's more than MRSA, AIDS, breast cancer and road traffic accidents combined!
Every year we see more than 100,000 patients in our A&E departments, Minor Injury Units, Outpatient Departments, Maternity Unit and on our wards.
If you are preparing to visit us please browse the information contained in these pages.
