Petitioner: Alyssa Gerlach started on February 26, 2009

There is need to introduce mandatory assessment tools for all health boards and hospitals for the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT); to ensure commonality of patient guidance information regarding DVT; and to introduce a newborn screening programme for the Factor V gene, which has been shown to increase susceptibility to DVT.

All signatures on this petition will be forward to the National Medical Board. Let's support this.
