March is Blood Clot Awareness Month. An estimated 900,000 people in the United States are affected by a blood clot every year, regardless of age, gender, or race. Yet studies have shown that fewer than 1 in 4 people recognize the signs of blood clots. Blood Clot Awareness Month is a great reminder to educate patients about the signs, symptoms, and dangers of blood clots. Annual observances highlight the critical need for awareness, prevention, and treatment of blood clots—serious but often preventable medical conditions.
This month, we spotlight the efforts of the National Blood Clot Alliance (Stop the Clot) and World Thrombosis Day, a global initiative led by the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH). These organizations work hard to educate both clinicians and the public about the risks, signs, and management of venous thromboembolism (VTE), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE).
We invite you to explore the curated resources below—designed to support healthcare professionals in improving patient care, increasing awareness, and advancing best practices in thrombosis prevention and treatment.
Our webinars are designed to provide you with cutting-edge insights from leading experts in atrial fibrillation care. These sessions cover everything from the latest treatment protocols to best practices in patient management. Attend live for a chance to engage in Q&A, or access recordings at your convenience.

Educational offerings on the topic of periprocedural anticoagulation management have historically focused on the perspective of anticoagulation care providers. Join AC Forum as we shift the lens to the interventionalists’ points of view, offering valuable insights into their thought processes. Experts will share their perspectives, bridge knowledge gaps between specialties, and help foster a deeper understanding of this sometimes complex topic.
This is the first webinar in a two-part series, each highlighting two specialties. Part one will focus on GI and Interventional Pain.

The National Blood Clot Alliance (NBCA) is a non-profit, voluntary health organization dedicated to advancing the prevention, early diagnosis and successful treatment of life-threatening blood clots such as deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. NBCA works on behalf of people who may be susceptible to blood clots, including, but not limited to, people with clotting disorders, atrial fibrillation, cancer, traumatic injury, and risks related to surgery, lengthy immobility, child birth and birth control. NBCA accomplishes its mission through programs that build public awareness, educate patients and healthcare professionals, and promote supportive public and private sector policy.
Explore a comprehensive set of resources from other reputable organizations that complement our offerings and enhance your understanding of thrombosis and blood clot management. These curated materials provide additional insights into the latest evidence-based practices, guidelines, and innovations in the field. Additionally, you'll find details on upcoming events that offer opportunities for involvement and engagement in blood clot awareness initiatives.
Healthcare professionals worldwide must recognize the significant risk of blood clots in clinical settings, particularly deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE), which together constitute venous thromboembolism (VTE). These potentially life-threatening conditions can arise silently, underscoring the importance of vigilance and knowledge.
World Thrombosis Day, a global campaign of the ISTH, equips healthcare professionals and patients alike with the latest scientific research, news, and clinical recommendations.

In the rapidly evolving field of anticoagulation, the diversity of protocols and opinions can sometimes lead to uncertainty — especially when clarity is critical. That's why it's crucial to have a trusted platform where innovation meets compassion, where research translates into tangible results, and where healthcare professionals from all medical disciplines come together for the greater good. At the Anticoagulation Forum, we are dedicated to one primary goal: achieving the best possible outcomes for patients.
Our multidisciplinary membership includes physicians, nurses, and pharmacists, all committed to advancing the field. Our Board and Advisory Council comprise world-renowned experts who bring decades of experience and knowledge to the table.
