Selina Evans: How Can Hospitals Make VTE Risk Assessment and Prevention Truly Routine?

Selina Evans, Project Partner at London Lauriston Clinic, shared a post on LinkedIn:

“A patient’s recovery does not depend only on treating the condition that brought them into hospital.

Preventing complications is just as important.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism, is a significant concern for patients who are hospitalised or have limited mobility.

Surgery, prolonged bed rest, certain medical conditions and other individual risk factors can increase the likelihood of developing blood clots.

Prevention requires an individualised approach.

Depending on the patient’s circumstances, this may include early mobilisation, appropriate hydration, compression devices and prescribed preventive medication.

Equally important is ensuring that patients and caregivers understand the warning signs and know when to seek medical attention.

Good hospital care is not simply about successful treatment. It is also about reducing preventable risks throughout the recovery process.

How can hospitals make thrombosis risk assessment and prevention a more consistent part of everyday patient care?”
