Thrombosis UK

Description:

Thrombosis UK (formerly Lifeblood: The Thrombosis Charity) was founded in 2002 and became a registered charity in 2003.

The charity aims to:

• increase awareness and education of thrombosis
• lobby to improve prevention of hospital-acquired clots, through their “Stop the Clots campaign”  
• deliver individual support for survivors of DVT and PE.

Thrombosis has been, and remains, a major cause of death in the United Kingdom yet this fact is not widely known.  Most people have little or no understanding about the causes and effects of thrombosis, and how it can be prevented.

To help you understand more, the charity's website has a public section containing information all about thrombosis – what causes clots, their effects on you, how clots can be prevented and treated, and the action the Government is taking to prevent thrombosis.
