Medical Professionals

As part of a recent review, we consulted medical professionals and the most prevalent suggestion was that you wanted more materials to support patients.

As a result, we’ve developed this new website section specifically for vascular practitioners and other health professionals with an interest in supporting the promotion of vascular health.

We’ve updated our logo and produced a new family of publications to help us promote awareness, provide patient information and, critically, generate financial support for our valued research programme.

So please, take a few minutes to review our patient information and promotional literature and order your chosen selection online. Your help is vital to us.

If you have any suggestions for new publications, please contact us via the Stakeholder Feedback Form.

The Cochrane Review Group for Peripheral Vascular Diseases review and summarise the most comprehensive and reliable evidence on all surgical and medical interventions for the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of all diseases of the arteries and veins.  In order to ensure our reviews continue to be accessible and relevant to those who experience these vascular conditions (either personally or as a carer) we would like to invite members of the Circulation Foundation to become actively involved in review production by providing feedback to them before publication.
