Venous thromboembolism – reducing the risk
This guidance is about the care and treatment of people who are at risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT) while in hospital in the NHS in England and Wales.
The advice in the NICE guideline covers the care and treatment that should be offered to all adults (aged 18 and over) who are admitted to hospital as inpatients (including those admitted for day-case procedures).
