Our Mission & Vision
Driving awareness, support and change for a clot-free future
Our work is guided by collaboration with healthcare professionals, partnerships with organisations that share our goals and the lived experiences of those affected by blood clots. Together, we aim to build a stronger, healthier community.
Our Mission
To help venous thromboembolism (VTE, comprised mainly of DVT and PE) survivors by providing them with relevant information utilising an information-rich Website, along with printed information upon hospital discharge. We wish to raise the awareness of the dangers of Blood Clots through promotion, and to advocate for improved patient care, safety and quality of life. The New Zealand Blood Clot Foundation is also interested in contributing to VTE research.
Our Vision
Our Vision is to reduce the impact of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in New Zealand through education, advocacy, research and community support. We envision a future where every New Zealander understands the risks, symptoms and treatment of blood clots – and where patients and families feel fully supported throughout their journey.
