Citations are a measure of how important research is. When a research paper is written showing some new development or discovery, it is a publication.

However, if no-one ever reads it, or quotes it, it might be next to useless.

When a research paper is quoted in another research paper, it is called a "citation". This means that some new research had to quote the previous research to show how they came up with their conclusion.

The higher the number of citations, the bigger the impact a researcher or research unit is making in the scientific community.

The Whiteley Clinic Research into Varicose Veins, Pelvic Congestion and Venous Leg Ulcers


Since Mark Whiteley performed the first endovenous surgery for varicose veins in March 1999, he has been recognised as a leader in venous surgery. The Whiteley Clinic research team has grown around him and has won many prizes for venous research.

It is this constant research effort that keeps The Whiteley Protocol up to date. In this way, patients treated with The Whiteley Protocol have the optimal investigations and treatment for venous problems.
