Vascular surgical training: Invited commentary
Vascular surgical training: Invited commentary
Driven by several factors, vascular surgery has changed significantly over the last decade, most important of which is the
increasing use of endovascular treatments. At the same time,
sub-specialisation has evolved within general surgery with
vascular surgery having travelled further down the path
towards becoming a separate specialty than most other disciplines.
These developments have raised particular issues with
regard to patient access to endovascular treatments across the
UK and the natural concerns of current vascular trainees
regarding their competence to deliver modern vascular care
as future consultants. These two questionnaire-based studies
help inform the debate and developments currently ongoing in
these areas in the UK.

Abstract
Driven by several factors, vascular surgery has changed significantly over the last decade, most important of which is the
increasing use of endovascular treatments. At the same time,
sub-specialisation has evolved within general surgery with
vascular surgery having travelled further down the path
towards becoming a separate specialty than most other disciplines.
These developments have raised particular issues with
regard to patient access to endovascular treatments across the
UK and the natural concerns of current vascular trainees
regarding their competence to deliver modern vascular care
as future consultants. These two questionnaire-based studies
help inform the debate and developments currently ongoing in
these areas in the UK.
