The REPAIR Survey is OPEN now! ๐จ๐จ๐จ
Is cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) used to aid clinical decision making when planning elective AAA repair? Let's find out! @vasgbi
Collaborative authorship available for all participants!

Venous Forum @RoyalSocMed โ a brilliant meeting. Standout moment: Prof Dan Carradice calling it plainly โ patients with venous disease are being failed. By the health service. By those providing their care. Itโs time for that to change. #VenousDisease#Phlebology
Editorial on @EJVES_ESVS ๐what do we mean when we conclude that a "fully powered randomised trial" is needed? Are all RCTs the same?

That should never happen in a modern NHS.
Labour built the NHS in difficult times. Now, in difficult times once again, we must be bold enough to modernise it.
We cannot afford to keep looking the other way.
We must go big on giving patients more control, go big on embracing technology, and go big on building an NHS fit for the future.
Patients deserve better. NHS staff deserve better. The technology exists.
Now we need the courage to act.
The UK is a temperate country. For the last 150 years the average max temp in May is 15 degrees....
Climate change is a hoax they said, drill baby drill they said.
No. It is time to make the changes today that our children and grandchildren need for tomorrow.

For an approach that embodies precisely what prevention-focused digital innovation should look like across the NHS, @NHSHHP are the winners of Driving Prevention and Early Intervention through Digital award!
Well done!

Outstanding recognition for our Vascular AI research programme led by the extraordinary talent of @bharathtiger I can't wait to see the exciting future we are building and always look forward to plotting the next move over a local real ale in my little Village in the Wolds.
Please get on board EARLY, these are really exciting opportunities to drive knowledge and improvements in patient outcomes. Push your R&D, get the trials open, recruit hard, be the light which illuminates a brighter future for our patients and our specialty
Imagine where we would be if we had spent these years trying to understand rather than refute what the data were telling us. We really need to focus on new knowledge and technology to manage the post endovascular blood-vessel interface.
๐ Focused update - ESVS PAD Guidelines
Recently published high-quality evidence, particularly the SWEDEPAD 2 trial, showed no meaningful quality-of-life benefit and raised concerns about possible long-term mortality with paclitaxel-coated devices, challenging prior assumptions about their net benefit. This prompted a focused update given the potential direct impact on patient safety and clinical decision-making in patients with intermittent claudication

Big moment for our program.
Thrilled to welcome three outstanding vascular surgery fellows to Carolinas Medical Center for 2027โ2029. The growth reflects the strength of our training environment, mentorship, and case volume.
The future is being built now.
We are so close to the finish line.
If youโre at @CXSymposium this week, please take a few minutes to complete the survey, we really want to hear from vascular scientists and sonographers.
It only takes a few minutes and please spread around your colleagues at @CXSymposium ๐
Check out this video introducing the NIHR ESTABLISH Trial. VRUK interviews @SandipNandhra
The Chief Investigator. Please support this study and she'd light on the management of Acute Limb Ischaemia.
