NHS Resolution and Thrombosis UK are hosting a virtual forum on the scale of the VTE prevention and diagnosis problem and learning from venous thromboembolism (VTE) claims in primary care.

The purpose is to raise awareness of the cost and scale of harm, discuss the challenges and recommendations around recognition and treatment of VTE in general practice. We will hear from a range of experts in the field with experience in developing and spreading best practice.

The format is interactive, with delegate questions and panel discussion.
