Overview

The Vascular Surgery short courses consisting of General and Aortic Surgery and Peripheral and Venous Surgery are held at St Mary’s Campus in Paddington. The courses are designed to give people with an interest in General and Vascular Surgery the opportunity to study in-depth the latest developments related to vascular and endovascular surgery in an interactive format. 

Teaching

General and Aortic Surgery will focus on vascular disease in general, as well as aortic pathology and treatments. Peripheral and Venous Surgery will focus on carotid disease, peripheral arterial and visceral artery treatments, and discuss venous disease in depth. New technologies in these areas will be a focus of discussion. Teaching will be delivered through an interactive format with emphasis placed on developing critical analysis, understanding key trials and debate of the big questions in vascular surgery and academic vivas.
