“UK hospitals are treating 283 patients a day for blood clots costing the NHS almost £200 million a year, new research has revealed.
Exclusive figures obtained by RBR Active ahead of national Thrombosis Awareness Week show 34,515 people attended 69 hospital trusts between January 2018 and January 2019 suffering from deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism at a cost of £66 million.
The statistics represent a third of the overall picture with 226 trusts in total approached under the Freedom of Information Act.”
