Out and about: British Association of Sclerotherapists annual meeting, Dorney Lake
An enthusiastic group of 60 vascular surgeons, aesthetic doctors and nurses gathered at the stunning Dorney Lake Conference Centre near Windsor for the British Association of Sclerotherapists’ 2018 conference. Both members and non-members had travelled from all over the UK and Ireland – and a few from further afield – to update their knowledge and learn from experts in the field.
A comprehensive agenda of presentations included treatment options for varicose veins and telangiectases, perforating veins, leg ulcers and lymphoedema, venous anatomy, the use of Doppler and duplex ultrasound imaging, pre-treatment counselling and evaluation, avoiding complications, sclerosants, and how the new GDPR 2018 regulations will affect delegates’ practices.
Guest speakers included Mr Jonothon Earnshaw (Gloucester Royal Infirmary), Judy Holdstock (senior vascular scientist, The Whiteley Clinic), Naomi Di-Scala (Hamilton Fraser), Monica Smith (clinical trainer at Medi UK) and Dr Mike Watkins (STD Pharmaceutical Products).
