Provision of Services for Patients with Vascular Disease 2009 (January 2009)
The aim of this revision of the Provision of Vascular Services 2004 is to describe a multidisciplinary service with vascular patients at its centre, taking full account of Department of Health service initiatives and guidance from the National Institute of Health and Clinical excellence (NICE). This document sets out the principles by which individual patients should obtain access to high quality vascular services for both elective and emergency care and the principles by which a 24 hour, high quality, consultant-led vascular service might best deliver optimal patient care. The document is intended to assist those responsible for the provision and resourcing of health care, as well as commissioners of the service.
