Deep Vein Thrombosis

GP Care's Community Deep Vein Thrombosis ("DVT") Service comprises diagnosis and treatment of potential or actual DVTs.

The Service is wholly primary care based including the provision of: near-patient blood tests at patients' registered practice; same or next day ultrasound scans from community-based locations; and community based anticoagulation for patients with confirmed DVTs.

Established in October 2008, the Community DVT Service represents a significant improvement to the previous Patient Pathway and delivers a substantial saving to the NHS.
