  • December 2019: In recommendation 1.3.5 the British Standards for anti-embolism hosiery were updated because BS 6612 and BS 7672 have been withdrawn. August 2019: Recommendation 1.12.11 (1.5.30 in this document) was amended to clarify when anti-embolism stockings can be used for VTE prophylaxis for people with spinal injury.
