Information available for GPs

Please consider referral of any patients who may have symptoms or signs of varicose veins disease. Large lumpy varicose veins are not always necessarily seen and so if you have any suspicion, we are happy to consult and map any patients.

For a comprehensive guide on identifying, assessing and referring patients with venous disease, please refer to our GP Referral Guide. For day-to-day use in your practice, we also have a Quick Reference Guide.
