The All-Party Parliamentary Thrombosis Group (APPTG) was set up in 2006 to promote awareness of venous thromboembolism (VTE) – blood clots – amongst Parliamentarians.

The APPTG has provided active leadership since 2006 on VTE prevention nationally, undertaking wide-ranging research reports and hosting headline events to support and share best practice in VTE prevention. In this role, the APPTG has been termed a ‘critical friend’ by the Department of Health in its role supporting the implementation of the National VTE Prevention Programme.
