We want everyone to https://bit.ly/TUKpatientinfo Our new campaign is "SPOT THE CLOTS". Clots can happen to anyone at any time!

Thrombosis UK is a charity working to improve understanding & awareness of life-threatening blood clots , often known as a DVT (deep vein thrombosis) and PE (pulmonary embolism). Although people think of deep vein thrombosis when they get on an aeroplane, in fact the chances of having a traveller’s thrombosis is tiny. In reality the most common cause of deep vein thrombosis [clots] is going into hospital - so called "hospital-acquired clots"- these could cause an estimated 25,000 deaths in the UK every year if patients don't receive preventative treatment if it is needed. Our award winning "STOP THE CLOTS” campaign - we were Health Charity Of The Year in 2010 for this work - led to the prevention of clots reaching the top priority of the NHS and English hospitals facing financial penalties if they don't prevent clots. This campaign has come about from the many stories shared with us by people contacting Thrombosis UK with stories of blood clots being missed by health professionals both in the community and in hospitals. We aim to improve education of health professionals and awareness of the general public about clots.

Thrombosis UK is disappointed to see that the often life-changing impact of blood clots is clearly not understood or being taken seriously by statutory services. Mr Ward may well be capable of many activities in the future and should he choose to run marathons, then it would seem sensible to reassess his needs then. In the meantime, his recovery journey is his priority and it’s unfortunate that Norfolk County Council feel unable to support it.
