I was sent this video after a reader saw the recent post on DVT http://www.fabnhsstuff.net/2016/03/10/dvt/
Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a significant cause of mortality, long-term disability and chronic ill-health problems – many of which are avoidable.
1 in 20 people will have a VTE at some time in their life and the risk increase with age. It is estimated that as many as half of all cases of VTE are associated with hospitalisation for medical illness or surgery.
VTE is an international patient safety issue and its prevention has been recognised as a clinical priority for the NHS in England.
This is video is a great training and awareness resource. Its about the England goalkeeper Paul Robinson’s experience of having a VTE and it brings home nicely what many people don’t know about the subject.
Two £25 vouchers are up for grabs in the library’s ‘Making the Most of Information’ survey.
