Interesting study of ESRD… more data needed for the role of low dose in secondary prophylaxis. No evidence for acute management of VTE with reduced dose apixaban
The apixaban package insert does NOT recommend dose reduction for CKD in patients with #VTE. But perhaps we should re-consider? Interesting analysis in @ThrombosisRese1 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3630…
Just spend an incredible week at #HaemophiliaAcademy2022 in Edinburgh. I can’t recommend it highly enough to anyone interested in a career haemostasis #TeamHaem haemophiliaacademy.com/
Lovely to meet up with regional colleagues #teamhaem
Final speaker at NRHG meeting- our own @KateMusgrave discussing some tricky thrombosis problems. What a fantastic end to a fantastic day. Great presentation Kate 👍👍👍👏👏👏

“women’s confidence and ambition are not inherently lower than men’s, but are eroded by experiences in unequal workplace cultures”
When will we stop trying to ‘fix women’ and start fixing the problem in academia?
I wrote a thing for @Nature outlining 3 common workplace gender equality mistakes:
1 Focusing on quantity rather than the quality of women’s experiences
2 Initiatives that try to fix women rather than change systems
3 An overestimation of progress nature.com/articles/d41586-0…

Time to move on and cross the artificial divide! Very grateful for the supportive colleagues I have @NcccOncology We all work together to reduce #Cancerclot
In the last 20 years, thrombosis prophylaxis in cancer patients improved quite a lot.
Still, a gap exists that can jeopardize treatment for cancer patients.
Have you read this article?

Very excited to take on a new role as Consultant Haematologist @NewcastleHosps @NewcastleHC and be part of a truly fantastic team 😀
So great to be involved in this important consensus article with Prof Maraveyas, Prof Laffan, Prof O’Donnell, Dr Thachil and @power_kieron A practical guidance to cancer thrombosis management with focus on the challenging patient. authors.elsevier.com/c/1eXUs….
After 7 years of reviewing patients with thrombosis, a full arsenal of hospital tests at my disposal and always longer than 10 mins to assess a patient… I still get it wrong. Tremendous respect for all GPs! #TeamGP
This every single time. “It’s really obviously not a PE!!!” is easy to say after a D-dimer, CTPA and an hour assessing a patient

Very excited to be starting the first dedicated cancer thrombosis clinic @NcccOncology today! #stoptheclot #cancerclot
So thrilled and honored to have this published in RPTH this week! Hoping it will start some important conversations about the care of menstruating individuals! Let us know what you think! @james_paulad @doctormclintock onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/…

Wonder how many times we need to be shown this...
No increase in the risk of venous thromboembolism in patients treated with tranexamic acid. Meta-analysis of 216 studies with 125,550 randomised patients. Thrombosis 2.1% vs 2.0%. tinyurl.com/27v68ddz #thrombosis #TXA

MHRA data supports a preponderance for younger age groups with #VITT but we need data divided by sex. Now 209 UK cases.
The UK regulator the MHRA has released updated data on #VITT after the AstraZeneca vaccine. The number of cases is now 209 up from 168 a week earlier. They now give a breakdown by age. Thats a start. They need to give breakdown by decade of age and sex. archive.vn/jkB60

New ISTH guidance on VITT management. Important to avoid heparin and platelet transfusion if it is suspected even whilst ELISA is awaited. If worried discuss with your local haematology team #VITT
It’s been disturbing how many friends, relatives, colleagues, people on the street (yes really!) and patients have asked about blood clot risk with the AZ vaccine. I have seen no evidence to support this! Please please protect yourself and get the vaccine! #COVID19Vaccination
Awareness of clot symptoms (leg swelling, new chest pain, sudden breathlessness), keeping active and hydrated and using thromboprophylaxis when appropriate will! #stoptheclot
Just to be clear none of these nutrients will prevent clots in COVID 19 patients @deNutrients
