Venous Thrombo-Embolism (VTE) Training

This training is open to our registered colleagues (Nurses, Nursing associates, AHPs) and students that may have the responsibility of completing screenings.

BACKGROUND

The 2018 NICE VTE Guidelines on Hospital Acquired Thrombosis (NG89) recommended that acute psychiatric in-patients should have VTE risk assessment and appropriate thromboprophylaxis. Our Trust has published a Venous Thromboembolism Assessment and Prevention Policy which sets out the details for venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk assessment in SABP inpatients, and the measures to be put in place to reduce the risk. We are therefore looking to roll out training and be assured that our registered frontline workers feel confident in completing a VTE assessment within 24 hours of admission in compliance with our Trust Policy.
