This year’s webinar was hosted by Adj. Prof. David Hardman, a leading Vascular Surgeon practicing in Canberra, ACT, which focused on the often overlooked complication of a Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS).

Arjo have created a VTE prevention leaflet which provides information for patients on why they are at more risk of developing a clot and how they, along with their healthcare team, can prevent the risk of clots developing. 

Training and development is our highest priority. Through our global Academy, we have recently run a series of webinars covering improving caregiver workflow, mitigating cross-contamination, the impact of early mobilisation on rehabilitation, reducing the risk of patient handling associated injury and more.

Every day in hospitals, patients in critical care typically present with multiple and rapidly changing venous thromboembolism (VTE) risk factors. This is in part due to their underlying risk factors, diagnosis, as well as medical interventions that may affect mobility, circulation and the tendency to clot.   

In collaboration with the Australian College of Nursing, Arjo welcomed Rodney Neale to present the 2019 World Thrombosis Day webinar. 

Arjo in association with the Australian College of Nursing are again working in partnership to present this year’s webinar for the World Thrombosis Day focusing on Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) prevention.

On World Thrombosis Day, 13th October 2017, ArjoHuntleigh partnered with the Australian College of Nursing (ACN) hosting a webinar Stop for Clots – Who should we protect? 

VTE-related events kill more people than breast cancer, prostate cancer, AIDS and motor vehicle crashes together¹.
