Vascular Surgery Services
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Trusted processes for elective recovery across the NHS
Vascular Surgery is a specialist area dealing with diseases of the arteries, veins, and lymphatic system. It covers both elective and emergency conditions, ranging from varicose veins and peripheral arterial disease to complex aortic aneurysms and carotid artery disease.
NHS Trusts face significant pressures in vascular services due to rising demand, an ageing population, and the growing prevalence of cardiovascular disease. Vascular backlogs not only affect quality of life for patients with benign conditions but also carry serious risks in urgent cases, where timely intervention is critical to preventing life-threatening complications such as stroke, aneurysm rupture, or limb loss.
At NCI, we understand that Vascular Surgery requires highly skilled consultant-led teams, advanced imaging and diagnostic support, and seamless integration across multidisciplinary pathways, including cardiology, radiology, and critical care.
All services are delivered by Consultant Vascular Surgeons with broad NHS experience, supported by anaesthetists, theatre nurses, radiographers, and vascular specialist nurses.
We provide elective and urgent capacity across:
We align with local Trust protocols and national standards, including NICE and the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland (VSGBI) guidance. Our teams work within existing MDT structures to ensure continuity of care, particularly for vascular cancer and urgent pathways.
Patient safety is central to our service model. We use robust governance processes, including morbidity and mortality reviews, outcome monitoring, and transparent reporting to Trust governance boards.
