💜 How we talk about blood clots matters. 💜 🏥 The VTE Communication Guide was created to help clinicians navigate the complex conversations that follow a venous thromboembolism (VTE) diagnosis from risk and treatment to emotions and uncertainty. ❤️ This project brings together insights from global experts across clinicians, mental health and communication experts, and patients' lived experiences to create a free, practical tool for any clinician who wants to improve how they connect with patients during a vulnerable time. 📣 The guide includes conversation tips, communication strategies, patient-friendly language, and real-world examples across different stages of care. 🔗 Learn more about the project and explore the full guide here: lnkd.in/g-fieFf9 and the companion publication in Lancet Haematology here: lnkd.in/gkVEbjz8. 💜 A huge thank you to the incredible contributors and reviewers who helped bring this guide to life. Your time, expertise, and dedication to patient-centered care are what make this resource so powerful.Let’s keep pushing for clearer, kinder, and more collaborative conversations in VTE care.
