PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY 

I am a Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Harley Street in London and Guildford, Surrey. 

Initially an academic at Oxford University, I now have a very busy practice, which I have 

built into a group practice through The Whiteley Clinic. Through this Clinic approach I 

insure that we offer the cutting edge procedures in vascular surgery. The Clinic that I have set 

up supports clinical research, which keeps our practice at the forefront of the areas that we 

specialize in. 

I introduced VNUS Closure (radiofrequency ablation of Varicose Veins) into the UK in 

1999. My team and I developed a percutaneous method of this procedure and over the last 5 

years have built up the world largest series of this technique. In addition, the results that we 

have produced are the best of any technique currently available in the treatment of Varicose 

Veins. 

Our current work is centered around the successful treatment of ovarian and vulval varicose 

veins. Many females have unsuccessful varicose vein surgery as traditional vein surgeons 

believe that their problem must come from the legs. In 5–10 % of females who have had 

children this is not the case – and so current treatments fail. We have developed a technique 

of treating such veins and will be producing our results in 2005. 

All of our surgeons perform leg bypass surgery, abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery and 

carotid surgery. By acting as a group practice, we insure that each operation is performed by 

2 consultants, speeding up the operation and reducing complications due to time on the table 

– and we can provide a high level of post-operative cover and care for our patients.

VISITS TO OVERSEAS CENTERS as a Trainee 

ALLGEMEINES KRANKENHAUS HARBURG, HAMBURG, GERMANY - April 

1995, March 1997, April 1998 

Prof. Dr. H Imig has a special interest in aortic surgery. His group are also producing work 

on the fate of vascular grafts after implantation. I have set up some collaborative research on 

this subject and am publishing and presenting our current results. 

ST. ANTONIUS ZIEKENHUIS, NIEUWEGEIN, THE NETHERLANDS - February 

1996 & March 1997 

Dr Frans Moll has invented an instrument that allows superficial femoral artery 

endarterectomy to be performed through a single groin incision. The early results of this 

technique are excellent. I visited his centre and have performed this technique under his 

guidance. I have introduced this to the Royal Berkshire Hospital Reading, where we have 

been performing this technique since February 1997. 

SURGICAL INVENTIONS 

1991 - Depth Specific Cone Biopsy Instrument 

As a medical student I invented the above instrument to reduce the complication of cervical 

cone biopsy. It won 3rd place in a national competition but unfortunately the geometry made 

it commercially too expensive to produce commercially. 

1995 - Abdominal Guarding Probe 

This probe quantifies abdominal guarding. It is currently undergoing clinical testing and 

development. Preliminary results have been presented at the Association of Surgeon Meeting, 

1998. Now being further evaluated at the Department of Medical Electronics, Royal Surrey 

County Hospital. 

1996 - Vascular Doppler Forceps 

UK Patent Application GB 2 302 025; date of publication 8/1/97. Currently a prototype is 

undergoing clinical assessment. The finished product is currently being sold by Arthrodax.

ACADEMIC PURSUITS 

I have an active research program, specializing in Venous conditions and the treatment of 

Venous disease. 

I have an MD student, Mr Babak Kianifard, who is performing a study on the role of 

perforating veins in the recurrence of Varicose Veins. Data collection will be completed in 

April 2004 with a view to having written up the Thesis by Sept 2004. The funding was 

provided by my clinic and the idea was derived from theories I have been working on for the 

last 5 years. 

OTHER INTERESTS 

MEDICAL PAGES: Building on interests in developing new concepts and in the emerging 

Internet in the UK, a colleague and I founded Medical Pages 

(http://www.medicalpages.co.uk) and I am currently Managing 

Director 

48

of this growing company. We have franchised into Ireland 

(http://www/medicalpages.ie). 

THE WHITELEY 

CLINIC: 

Building on the system that I developed to use VNUS Closure to its 

Full potential maximum and the simultaneous interest in the Medical 

world about Chambers of doctors, I founded The Whiteley Clinic in 

2001. 

This is now a thriving Clinic in Guildford and London. 

I have founded a Charity – The Whiteley Foundation – which 

supports our research activity.
