The team around you
Vascular surgeons, vascular scientists, specialist nurses, podiatrists, radiologists, anaesthetists and physiotherapists meet regularly to plan care together. Complex cases are discussed by the whole group before anything is recommended to you.
The numbers
The unit screens around 1,000 people each year. From those, roughly 350 procedures follow: around 65 to prevent stroke, 90 aneurysm repairs and 140 to prevent amputation.
