Information for GPs
Each item in the list below links to a PDF that can be downloaded and printed.
If there are other areas of vascular surgery on which you feel you wound like further information feel free to email me and I will try and prepare information on these topics. Thank you for looking.

Information about Peripheral Vascular Disease

Screening and Surveillance in Vascular Disease
These information sheets have been prepared by me and basically present what I feel is current accepted practice and is my current practice. Other vascular surgeons may differ in their advice. Also I have not tried to provide in depth information about the subjects, the sheets are intended to inform sensible practice for GPs and other doctors.
GP and other doctors can ask a question by emailing me using this form: Open GP Form
