19 GHP Q3 2025 Varicose veins are a condition that will affect many of us during our lives, particularly as we get older. Not only are they unsightly, but they can be uncomfortable and cause complications too. Often, people will suffer for years without proper diagnosis or treatment. The Whiteley Clinic is dedicated to delivering the highest level of care for patients with leg and pelvic venous conditions, including pelvic pain, based on its own ongoing research programme. The clinic was an early pioneer for non-surgical varicose vein treatments in the United Kingdom when Founder, Professor Mark Whiteley, performed the first endovenous (non-surgical) varicose vein operation in March 1999. Today, The Whiteley Clinic’s commitment to excellence has resulted in an extremely low recurrence rate in its patients which stems from the most accurate diagnosis and high-quality keyhole varicose vein surgery possible, using its in-house Whiteley Protocol®, which is continually updated as research progresses. Unlike most varicose vein clinics and doctors, scans at The Whiteley Clinic are performed by professional clinical vascular scientists trained in The Whiteley Protocol®, taking more than 15 minutes per leg, even in the simplest cases. In this way, the clinic ensures that it finds all of the causes of the varicose veins, and not just the simple and obvious ones. By ensuring that it can find and treat all of the causes, including perforator and pelvic vein problems, the clinic improves both the appearance and comfort of the venous disorders that it treats. As a former trailblazer in the varicose vein space, The Whiteley Clinic continues to innovate and develop new techniques. Its combined approach to venous leg ulcers enables approximately 85% of patients who were previously only offered bandaging and dressing by their nurses to be treated, resulting in complete ulcer healing. In over 50% of patients, they don’t even need to wear a compression stocking in the future. The clinic’s research has shown that this gives a considerable increase in quality of life for both patients and their families. Using the knowledge that it has gleaned from many years of intensive research, the clinic is now able to treat complex venous conditions that are often ignored or passed over by other doctors. “We frequently cure patients with severe varicose veins who have been told that their legs are too Recognised as world leaders in the treatment of varicose veins, The Whiteley Clinic offers the most up to date and innovative procedures to give life-changing results, along with exceptional patient aftercare. The Whiteley Clinic has earned its place as a world leader in varicose vein care and its recent win at the Global Excellence Awards 2025 proves it’s not slowing down. We learn more about the clinic from Professor Mark Whiteley (Founder of The Whiteley Clinic) in the wake of it being recognised. In the Same Vein: How The Whiteley Clinic Is Rewriting the Future of Vein Treatment bad to be treated,” elaborates Professor Mark Whiteley. “We have also recently presented our 20-year experience of treating KlippelTrenaunay syndrome. This syndrome causes patients to have severe varicose veins, usually combined with a birthmark or enlarged leg. We have developed a specific protocol to get the best outcomes for such patients.” In addition, the clinic’s deep knowledge of vein biology and tissue interactions has allowed it to develop treatments for forehead veins, veins around the eyes that are too large for conventional lasers, as well as hand and arm veins. “We are at the forefront of the research and improvement of these developments, and we navigate our position by making sure that we only offer them to patients when we have research data to show that the procedures are likely to be successful, and then perform them on consenting patients with ongoing audits to ensure that the outcomes are the best that can be achieved,” Professor Mark Whiteley continues. “The advantage that these have brought to our business is that we continue to be world leaders in the area. The disadvantage is that we have to spend a lot of time with patients explaining why so few others, and in some cases no others, offer these treatments.” Unfortunately, in the vein world, most of the vein clinics that are setting up are focused on commercial outcomes, providing the cheapest possible treatments, without any quality control, research, or long-term outcomes. The Whiteley Clinic takes the opposite approach, believing that medicine should always be in the best interests of the patient, giving the best possible experience, coming up with the latest researchproven methods, and giving patients the best possible long-term outcomes. All of the clinic’s work is backed up by research, audits and registry data. For its steadfast commitment to research and innovation, not to mention exceptional patient care, The Whiteley Clinic recently gained notable recognition in the Global Excellence Awards and received the title of Best Varicose Veins Treatment Clinic 2025 – UK for its endeavors. Now, the future looks bright and the clinic plans to continue to grow its already exceptional reputation.
