Patient Experience
The Vascular Department provides a comprehensive service for all vascular diseases; cerebrovascular, aortic, peripheral vascular, venous and lymphatic. It is supported by a high-quality vascular laboratory. There are four arterial and four venous clinics weekly as well as lower extremity ulcer clinics. There is also a daily ambulatory veins treatment service.
The Vascular Department provides a comprehensive range of arterial and venous treatments, screening for aortic aneurysms, a Lymphoedema Service, a non-invasive Vascular Laboratory, a dedicated Ulcer Clinic, a Claudication Clinic, an FMD (Fibromuscular dysplasia) Clinic and an endovenous laser surgery suite.
The department is recognised as the leading centre for the treatment of complex aortic aneurysms and provides a 24/7 service for treatment of thoracic aortic emergencies in conjunction with our cardio-thoracic surgical colleagues.
You must have a referral from your GP or clinician to receive an appointment. All referrals are triaged (reviewed) by the vascular consultants and appointments are issued based on clinical priority to be seen.
Direct referrals for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) are not possible. Patients with suspected DVT should be referred to the Emergency Department where they will be placed on a fast-track DVT pathway.
