Information available for GPs

Please consider recommending Skin Institute to 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 Veins Assessment Guide. For day-to-day use in your practice, we also have a Quick Reference Guide.

No formal written referral is required
We do not require a formal written referral. However, if you would like to provide any information, please see our guides above.
