Prevent the preventable with IPC

Access a collection of clinical focus documents developed to support VTE prevention across different patient groups. Each document addressesspecific clinical contexts, helping healthcare professionals consider prevention strategies in relation to individual patient needs.

Medical patients guide

Hospitalised medical patients often have multiple, cumulative VTE risk factors related to immobility and underlying conditions. This document highlights why this group is particularly vulnerable and outlines key prevention considerations.

Patients with cancer guide

Cancer and its treatment are associated with an increased risk of VTE. This document explores risk factors, prevention challenges and key considerations for hospitalised patients with cancer.

Critical care patients guide

Critical care patients often present with multiple and rapidly changing VTE risk factors related to illness, treatment and immobility. This document explores why patients in intensive care are at particularly high risk and highlights key prevention considerations in critical care settings.

Gynaecology surgery patients guide

Patients undergoing gynaecology surgery may be at increased risk of VTE due to surgery, malignancy and hormone related factors. This document outlines relevant risk factors and prevention considerations in gynaecology surgey patients.

Obstetric patients guide

Pregnancy, delivery and the post partum period are associated with physiological changes that increase VTE risk. This document describes key risk factors and prevention considerations for obstetric patients.

Stroke patients guide

Patients hospitalised after stroke are at increased risk of VTE due to immobility and neurological impairment. This document explores why stroke patients are particularly vulnerable and outlines key prevention considerations following stroke.

Plastic surgery patients guide

Certain plastic and reconstructive surgical procedures are associated with an increased risk of VTE, particularly when additional risk factors are present. This document examines VTE risk factors and prevention considerations in plastic surgery patients.

Plus-size patients guide
