Federatie van Nederlandse Trombosediensten (FNT)

What Federatie van Nederlandse Trombosediensten (FNT) does

The Federatie van Nederlandse Trombosediensten (FNT), founded in 1971 and headquartered in Leiden, is the national branch association (branchevereniging) representing Dutch thrombosis services. Its mission is to promote the quality of anticoagulation treatment in the Netherlands and to represent the collective interests of its members nationally and internationally. As of 2020 the federation had 43 member thrombo services, down from 53 in 2017, collectively managing anticoagulation care for approximately 470,000 VKA (vitamin K antagonist) patients. The organization is governed by a volunteer board under chairman Nienke van Rein (since October 2024) and operated by a small administrative bureau of 9 staff under director Henriëtte Dekkers-Sinke (since February 2024).

FNT's core technology and intellectual property consist of professional standards and frameworks rather than software products. These include the FNT Veldnorm (field standard for thrombosis services), De kunst van het doseren (state-of-the-art VKA dosing guideline maintained by the Commissie Standaardisering Medisch handelen), the VKA-Register research database, and the Kwaliteitsstandaard Overdracht van medicatiegegevens in de keten — a quality standard co-developed with 24 organizations and registered with Zorginstituut Nederland. FNT also coordinates the national Programma Medicatieoverdracht alongside the Ministry of VWS and Nictiz, leveraging the MP9 information standard for electronic medication data exchange.

Revenue is generated through two primary streams: recurring membership subscriptions paid by member thrombo services, and per-course fees from the FNT Academie training catalog (including AMTD Basiscursus, AMTD Vervolgcursus, Doseeradviseur, Train de Trainer, Applicatiecursus, and the annual Nascholingsdag attracting approximately 900 attendees). Courses are priced with a member-versus-non-member differential of roughly 10–50%, reinforcing membership value. FNT also publishes the Tijdschrift voor Trombose en Antistolling scientific journal and awards the Jordanpenning. No financial figures are publicly disclosed.
