At The Whiteley Clinic, we have always been world leaders in vein surgery. This is proven by our research and development prizes. This is why Prof Mark Whiteley and his team give invited lectures around the world at conferences. When the Covid pandemic started, many webinars started so that doctors and scientists could still share research information. Mark Whiteley has given invited lectures in several of these.

Virtual veins conference rather than webinars

Prime partners is a forward-looking conference company. Khaled Zidan of Prime partners has been one of the innovators of the webinars These online events keep good communication between top doctors and scientists. Khaled is now arranging the world's first virtual reality veins conference on 26-27 June 2020. Prof Mark Whiteley is delighted to have been invited to speak at this virtual conference.

This morning, Mark met by Khaled in the online virtual conference centre. Khaled gave Mark a tour of the facilities. He showed Mark how to give a lecture from the auditorium, even including a laser pointer! This sort of inspirational and innovative solution instituted by Khaled and Prime partners, is a true "game-changer" in the scientific world. Despite all of the problems that Covid-19 has caused the world, leading specialists in venous surgery can still communicate their research and results. This helps doctors to keep up with the latest thoughts, hence other patients get the best treatments. Prof Mark Whiteley and his team at The Whiteley Clinic will continue work towards getting the very best venous treatments for all patients.
