Tutorial presented by Professor Beverley Hunt, a national and international expert in thrombosis and acquired bleeding disorders, Consultant of Thrombosis and Haemostasis, St Thomas’ Hospital, London, and Professor of Thrombosis and Haemostasis at King’s College London. Beverley sits on the NICE guideline development group, she chairs the steering committee of World Thrombosis Day campaign, and is co-founder and medical director of Thrombosis UK, a charity working to increase awareness, support research, extend understanding and improve care for all those affected by thrombosis.

In this tutorial, Beverley outlines the risk of thrombosis in Long COVID, including what we know so far about thrombosis risk, seated immobility syndrome which does increase risk of blood clots, and what, if anything, does a D-dimer test tell us about someone’s risk of blood clots.
