Lifeblood: The Thrombosis Charity Lifeblood was established by a group of people who recognise the need to promote awareness about thrombosis and to increase understanding of its causes, effects and the treatment available.
Thrombosis has been – and remains – a major cause of death in the United Kingdom yet astonishingly, this fact is not widely known. Most people have little or no understanding about the causes and effects of thrombosis, and how it can be prevented. Within the medical field, many see thrombosis as a peripheral area.
It is for this reason that Lifeblood: The Thrombosis Charity was founded in February 2002. The charity is governed by seven trustees, supported by a multi-disciplinary group, who are recognised as leaders in thrombosis care and research within the UK.
Lifeblood operates with a philosophy of collaboration, openness and information sharing. We campaign, educate and inform to increase awareness and knowledge of thrombosis and we wish to be a voice for everyone affected by thrombosis.
