Memories of Eve Cleary, who died after developing blood clots in her lungs, will live on in new HSE national guidelines named after her, the young woman's proud mother has said.

The guidelines for the treatment of venous thromboembolism are believed to be the first in Ireland to carry the name of an individual patient. They will be launched on Tuesday at the Royal College of Surgeons in Dublin.
