Thank you, this learning resource was excellent and very through and succinct in its overview of the assessment and treatment and care, including follow up required for all patients who may present with DVT/PE. It will assist in ensuring appropriate response for all patients coming into hospital through correct assessment and clinical tests and indicators.
