Venous Thromboembolism Conference

Date: 16 March 2010 - 16 March 2010

Location: Royal College of Physicians

For more information please contact RCP Events on conferences@rcplondon.ac.uk

You can view the programme and register online: http://events.rcplondon.ac.uk/details.aspx?e=1703

This conference is devoted to the practical implementation of VTE prophylaxis in a wide range of patient groups. The speakers all have a detailed knowledge of the evidence and how it is amalgamated to create evidence based guidance. Perhaps more important for a clinical audience, the speakers are predominantly hands on clinicians, from a range of disciplines, each presenting its own problems in implementation.

Audience: The conference is intended for anyone involved in VTE prophylaxis including generating local practice protocols, their effective implementation, applying them to special situations, and auditing practice.

Conference organiser: Royal College of Physicians

CPD Code: 52451
