Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) Prophylaxis Policy (P8)

Venous Thromboembolism (VTE) is a leading cause of avoidable death in the UK. It is estimated that VTE causes in excess of 25,000 potentially preventable deaths per annum in UK hospitals – five times the estimated number of deaths each year from hospital-acquired infection. In the UK as a whole this figure is approximately 60,000 preventable deaths each year (DH, 2007). The implementation of evidence based guidelines first published by the National Institute of Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2010 focussing on the prevention of VTE in hospitalised patients has been afforded a high priority by the Department of Health and commissioners. VTE risk assessment is a former national CQUIN indicator and is a National Quality Requirement in the NHS Standard Contract for 2019/20 (NHSE, 2019). It sets a threshold rate of 95% of adult inpatients being risk assessed for VTE on admission each month. This policy and the accompanying clinical documentation will enable clinicians to reduce mortality and morbidity associated with this VTE through screening patients admitted for day surgery or inpatient care and those attending Minor Injury Unit / Urgent Treatment Centres, educating patients and carers about preventative measures, initiating prophylactic treatment and recognising signs of VTE development.
