One of the most important skills of a police officer is the ability to communicate in a range of situations with a diverse mix of people. You already have skills in communication that you will be required to use in your role. However you will find yourself in situations that will demand advanced communication skills. Effective policing is about bringing volatile situations to order and even taking people into custody if that is needed. Not everyone stops what they are doing when they are told to.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is the formation of blood clots in the vein. When a clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the leg, it is called a deep vein thrombosis or DVT. If that clot breaks loose and travels to the lungs, it is called a pulmonary embolism or PE. Together, DVT and PE are known as VTE - a dangerous and potentially deadly medical condition.
