Just a reminder about our annual VTE conference which will be live on zoom next month October 7/8^th which is free to register https://www.vtedublin.org/#2021-registration-now-open and approved for CPD points. While some of the program is more haem/onc orientated there are a couple of interesting EM relevant talks on the Friday including Prevention of VTE in patients with traumatic brain injury and Diagnostic strategies in suspected PE across different healthcare settings; what model to use in what patient.

I would also like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who are involved in recruiting patients to the TILLIRI study to contribute to answering the important question as to which patients with lower limb immobilisation should be offered thromboprophylaxis.

Many thanks
