About e-VTE
e-Learning Venous Thromboembolism (e-VTE) is designed to raise awareness and improve understanding of VTE in the hospital setting and in primary care. It is available free to anyone with an interest in VTE prevention.
Developed by the Chief Medical Officer’s VTE Implementation Group in partnership with e-Learning for Healthcare (e-LfH) it supports the national VTE prevention strategy.
e-VTE helps clinicians take appropriate action when assessing the risk of VTE and discussing preventative measures.
e-VTE consists of a pre-learning questionnaire and a post-learning assessment together with three e-learning sessions:
1. Demographics, Epidemiology and Risk of VTE
2. Methods of Thromboprophylaxis
3. Implementation of Thromboprophylaxis in Hospitals
The content is written and reviewed by clinical experts, including the Centre’s very own Dr Roopen Ayra. Each session is easy to use, taking no more than 20 minutes to complete.
The e-learning uses imagery, video, audio, animation, case studies and interactive exercises.
