Case Studies

In 2013, Queen Elizabeth’s Hospital, Greenwich approached Vascular Solutions to consult on their vascular imaging requirements. At the time, their model of service provision relied heavily on locum vascular sonographers and due to the high turn-over of staff, services lacked consistency and more importantly investment and development in service planning and delivery.

Vascular Solutions worked with the team at Queen Elizabeth’s to gain an understanding of the hospitals service needs and how these could be addressed to improve quality and patient care.  As a result, Vascular Solutions started running the Queen Elizabeth’s Vascular Imaging Service in December 2013.

This service now caters a full range of specialist vascular diagnostics to accommodate all teams within the Trust, including vascular surgery, renal medicine, general medicine, stroke medicine, long-term conditions and cancer and primary care.

Patients attending Queen Elizabeth’s hospital now have improved access to specialist vascular ultrasound diagnostics that assist greatly in clinical decision making and treatment planning.

Following lockdown cancellation of this service in 2020, the Queen Elizabeth vascular ultrasound service is now managed by the in house ultrasound team.
