The puzzling pathogenesis behind COVID-19 has thrown up many clinical dilemmas for physicians across the globe, including haematologists.

The rapid accumulation of evidence indicates the presence of a hypercoagulable state in patients with severe COVID-19 which in turn increases the risk of thromboembolic complications.

In this webinar a leading panel of experts, including Professor Beverley Hunt OBE, a consultant in thrombosis and haemostasis at King’s College London, discuss the diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to managing these patients.
