Audit team wins big grant for Society

We are pleased to report that the Vascular Society has been successful in obtaining a grant of £380,000 from the Health Foundation to help us achieve our ambition of reducing the mortality associated with aortic aneurysm surgery to 3.5% by 2013. This is an exciting development for the Vascular Society and represents a major advance in our role from simply auditing outcomes of our interventions to making a real improvement in these outcomes by encouraging improvements in care. icon November 2009.

National Vascular Database - 2009 report

Clinicians face significant changes in their clinical practice over the next few years, with the emphasis being on our ability to demonstrate both good team working and a focus on patient safety. In addition the introduction of a national screening programme for aortic aneurysms will see a focus on providing a high quality service for patients. The NVD will play a central role in both these areas and the Society is committed to providing robust information to support its members in their clinical practice. This written report represents the first one incorporating data from the new system, and the first to be produced by the VSGBI.

The Circulation Foundation is the fundraising arm of The Vascular Society and is the UK’s only national charity dedicated to raising money for pioneering research into the causes, prevention and treatment of vascular disease.

It provides vital support and information for vascular disease patients and their families.
