Title of the prize-winning research poster:
This project shows that endovenous laser can be inconsistent between patients. The laser appears to produce less power during the first treatment of the day compared to subsequent treatments.
This is a new observation and was previously unknown.
It is because we continually perform research and audits that we can ensure all of our patients get the optimal treatment. We do this by continually updating The Whiteley Protocol.
All of our doctors and vascular technologists follow The Whiteley Protocol. In this way, we can make sure that all of our patients get optimal treatment. This is independent of which doctor supervises their care at The Whiteley Clinic.
