In addition to ACE, sanofi-aventis, NHS Primary Care Trusts and leading medical experts, people just like you have registered their support for stoptheclot. It’s free and could help us find out how effective the programme is at raising awareness, and therefore helping to prevent the unnecessary death and serious disability caused by a hospital blood clot 1 (you may have also heard it called deep vein thrombosis, or DVT).4 Blood clotting inside a blood vessel, particularly if you aren’t moving for long periods of time, like during a stay in hospital, can cause serious disability, or even death.1 So, it’s essential to raise awareness and to find out what can be done to prevent this from happening.

With your help, more hospital blood clots can be prevented
Many hospital blood clots that could result in death or disability can be prevented1 – it’s easy. If you or a loved one are in hospital, make sure you ask the ward doctor or nurse to carry out a simple risk assessment, as recommended by the Government.1,9 A risk assessment is a list of questions you will be asked that will determine whether or not you are high risk of developing a blood clot while in hospital, so that, if you are, something can be done to prevent it.
Now that you are aware, please tell people you care about too
"Please pledge to tell your loved ones about hospital acquired blood clots. After all, it could be your father... mother... brother... sister... grandfather... or friend who is at risk!"
