How often do you use the Yellow Card reporting system?
It’s easy to use (not always quick though 😬) but it helps to collate data and can show issues with medication quickly 👍🏻

This is such an important topic - what pathway do you have for your patients who need to start thromboprophylaxis as soon as they have their positive pregnancy test? 🤔
The MBRRACE Report showed #VTE as the UK's greatest risk in pregnancy & post partum. For #WTD25, listen to Dr Francesca Reeder discuss work being undertaken to protect mums in the first trimester: 'Thromboprophylaxis in the first trimester'

Carrying out a blood clot risk assessment for patients who have a lower limb injury is so important as it makes sure that the right patients are identified for blood clot prevention medication - always ask what your blood clot risk is when attending hospital 🤗
How can we reduce the risk of #VTE in lower limb immobilisation? Can you become involved in research that will help inform future policy? Find out about the TiLLI trial.
