The North American Thrombosis Forum (NATF) is a multi-disciplinary organization founded with the objective of improving patient care through the advancement of thrombosis education. This unique approach includes conversation between and involvement of patients, advocates, office-based physicians, hospitalists, nurse practitioners, nurses, pharmacists, physician assistants, and hospital administrators. All educational programs are designed to allow and encourage patients and their families to interact with the professionals who carry out research, provide clinical care, or work on public policy or advocacy issues related to thrombosis.
The NATFonline website is seen as a forum to enable the necessary conversation between groups that will enhance thrombosis prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. As a means of promoting the important communication exchange between “lay” and “professional”, we have created two conversation threads or online communication mechanisms. We encourage both “lay” and “professional” to contribute to both of these conversations so that we can learn from each other with the hope of raising awareness and improve outcomes.
The only requirement for contributing to the conversation is that you be a NATF member. Registration is available online.
