National Centre for Remote and Rural Health and Care: Information Hub

Recorded on Thursday 6 May 2021, as part of the Royal Society of Medicine's COVID-19 Series. Since the emergence of the disease, severe COVID-19 infections have been associated with a risk of severe and dangerous coagulopathy. In recent weeks, two vaccines have also been linked to a rare increased risk of clotting. This episode tells the story of our understanding of these coagulation disorders, looking at the causes, risks, diagnosis, and treatments. Our guests were Marcel Levi, Chief Scientific Officer of the Netherlands and former UCLH CEO, Dr Sue Pavord, Consultant Haematologist at Oxford University Hospitals, and Dr Andy Retter, Critical Care Consultant at Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust. The RSM COVID-19 Series is for health professionals, by health professionals; a series of talks dedicated to give healthcare workers on the frontline, regular and easy-to-access updates from healthcare leaders on COVID-19.
