The Whiteley Clinic’s Microsclerotherapy for leg thread veins course by Mr Mark Whiteley

This course is aimed at doctors and nurses who wish to treat leg veins safely and successfully. This course has now been running successfully for over 6 years with excellent feedback and reviews from previous delegates. During the course, the anatomy and pathophysiology of veins and thread veins is taught - as are the priniciples and practice of Doppler ultrasound. Microsclerotherapy techniques are taught and delegates practice on models and, on the final day, volunteers with leg thread veins. Delegates pass the course when they complete a MCQ exam on the final day and demonstrate competent microsclerotherapy technique.
