That the Parliament is pleased to hear news of the venous thromboembolism (VTE) pledge event being initiated, which has been organised and funded by the Bristol-Myers Squibb/Pfizer Alliance, being run in conjunction with Thrombosis UK, and hosted by Brian Whittle MSP on 12 March 2020; notes that the event will help raise awareness of VTE in Scotland and shine a light on the importance of preventing life-threatening and life-changing avoidable blood clots; hopes that many MSPs will be able to attend the event to support those at risk of VTE in Scotland; thanks Thrombosis UK on its continued work in raising awareness of the condition, and wishes it well with its ongoing work.
