Notice to GPs regarding development of VTE’s within 90 days of a hospital admission
Following recommendations from NHS England and the new VTE risk assessment and hospital associated thrombosis (HAT) CQUIN, University Hospitals Birmingham Foundation Trust would like to invite all GPs of patients who may have had a recent episode with the Trust to inform us of any VTE episodes that your patients may have developed within 90 days of discharge, including day case procedures. We have created a specific e mail address for informing the Trust of HAT’s anticoagulationdepartmentbhh@heartofengland.nhs.uk or we can be contacted on 0121 424 2693
The Trust aims to provide counselling and a new information leaflet ‘Prevention of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolus (PE)’ to all patients at discharge and an additional reminder of VTE risk and informing the Trust of any VTE episodes will appear on all discharge summaries.
