Thrombosis UK VTE E-Learning Platform

The platform aims to support all healthcare professionals involved in the care of VTE patients.


Our first modules focus on ‘Communication’ - reinforcing or developing key communication skills in a variety of contexts. The package comprises three sets of related videos, each providing a bite-sized introduction to the issues; together, providing an overview of what makes good and not-so-good communication.

 

Thrombosis UK has been fortunate to bring together the skills and experience of a number of health professionals, as well as obtaining feedback from patients with a history of VTE on their experiences of good and not-so-good communication, and how these have impacted them. These are accompanied by a series of talks by Prof Paul Bennett, a professor of health and clinical psychology. The modules draw on some key general and specific issues in communication relevant to the acute and continuing care of VTE patients.


Each module provides a differing perspective on issues of communication, with the aim of providing a holistic approach to exploring your own communication with patients.
