DVT Diagnostic Clinic

Information alert box New ambulatory DVT pathway at Oxford University Hospitals

There is now a new diagnostic pathway for the Ambulatory DVT Clinic.

This will reduce the number of first and repeat ultrasound scans required for patients with clinically suspected DVT, while maintaining diagnostic accuracy.

The pathway has been locally validated and approved - for details, please visit:

BMJ 2022;376:e067378

The service has its own laboratory and ultrasound room to speed up diagnosis. If a patient does have a DVT, they can discuss treatment options and start treatment the same day.
