The Whiteley Clinic Research Fellows
We have a program of supporting young people who want a career in medicine, by taking on research fellows and giving them projects to both help push forwards our own understanding of new treatments as well as helping our research fellows advance their own careers.
The Whiteley Clinic continually performs many research projects, most in the clinic itself or in conjunction with the University of Surrey and also to take part multicentre studies both internationally and nationally.
We sponsor and supervise Ph.D. students through the University of Surrey on specific projects of interest to The Whiteley Clinic.
Every summer we give an opportunity to 2 or 3 young people who wish to promote themselves in science or medicine.
These positions are suitable for:
- Sixth form college students wishing to pursue a career in medicine or biological science
- BSc students who wish to pursue a career in medicine or wish to advance their academic studies in the clinical field
- Medical students who wish to improve their CVs and get experience to research
Whiteley Clinic/University of Surrey PhD Research Fellows
Henry Ashpitel
I graduated from the University of Surrey in July 2014 with a BSc. (Hons) in Biochemistry. As a part of my undergraduate degree I spent a year at Weill Cornell Medical College in the Upper East Side of Manhattan, NYC, where I worked in a toxicological research laboratory, examining the effects of the activation of the Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor in chick embryo hepatocytes. My PhD research is being supervised by Jian-Mei Li, Professor of Cardiovascular Biology at Surrey University, and Prof. Mark Whiteley. My research involves examining the biological effects of the treatment of varicose veins by thermal ablation, focusing on Endovenous Laser Ablation. Outside of research my other interests include sports such as squash and swimming, and I also have a strong interest in classical history.
Philippa Tollow
I completed my undergraduate degree in Applied Psychology and Sociology at the University of Surrey in 2012, and I was awarded my MSc in Health Psychology from the university in 2013. As part of my undergraduate degree I spent a year in industry, working within the South Thames Cleft Service at Guys’ and St Thomas’s NHS Foundation Trust, and it was here that I developed an interest in the interaction between psychology, health, and illness. I have also undertaken voluntary work with various client groups, and found working with people with dementia particularly rewarding. My PhD research is supervised by Professor Jane Ogden and Professor Mark Whiteley, and sponsored by The Leg Ulcer Charity. I aim to explore the impact of caring for a patient with venous leg ulcers, to investigate relationships between patients and their caregivers, and to evaluate the impact of venous surgery for leg ulcers on the quality of life of patients and carers. In my spare time I am training to be a First Aider with St Johns Ambulance, and I enjoy baking and watching rugby.

Chris T. Lee
Chris graduated from a Master of Pharmacy degree at the University of Brighton in 2011 and qualified as a pharmacist in August 2012 following a year’s pre-registration training.
Chris is studying for a PhD at the University of Surrey under the supervision of Professor Jian-Mei Li and Mark Whiteley, investigating the biological effects of varicose vein treatment on the structure of veins. Current research is limited so this project has the potential to significantly improve understanding of this area and improve outcomes for patients.
Chris is also a keen sports fan and a strong interest in European history.

Briony Hudson
After completing an undergraduate degree in Psychology at the University of Southampton, Briony lived and worked in Beijing before returning to the UK in 2008. She has since worked in trauma rehabilitation whilst completing an MSc in Health Psychology.
Briony is now working towards a PhD Supervised by Professor Jane Ogden at the University of Surrey, working in tandem with the The Whiteley Clinic and investigating recovery from ambulatory surgery. This research will complement the extensive literature that has been generated by the clinic and will look at anxiety management, pain reduction and rehabilitation.
Briony is also currently learning French and training for a triathlon.

The Whiteley Clinic Summer Research Fellows
Scott dos Santos 2013
Scott is about to enter his second year at the University of Surrey studying Biomedical Science.
He started working at the The Whiteley Clinic February 2013 and will continue his work as a research fellow until he graduates in 2016. He has been involved in numerous research projects and is currently investigating transvaginal duplex ultrasound, the link between haemorrhoids and pelvic vein reflux and the long term results of pelvic vein embolisation.
After completing his degree he is hoping to pursue either an MSc or PhD, with an aspiration of researching chronic disease in the future.

Alex Ostler 2013
After graduating from King’s College London University with a degree in Pharmacology, Alex continued her studies and is currently a third year medical student.
She spent the summer of 2013 working at The Whiteley Clinic as a research fellow. Her main project was to investigate a new phenomenon - the presence of neovascular-type tissue in patients presenting to the clinic with primary varicose veins. Alongside this, Alex worked on a paper looking at the 5 year rates of revascularization of the strip tract following high saphenous tie and stripping.

Salil Patel 2013
Salil is a first year medical student at Peninsula Medical School who spent the summer of 2013 working at the The Whiteley Clinic. He helped perform a retrospective audit on the success of treating verrucae with Nd:YAG lasers as well as helping with an audit concerning the embolisation of pelvic veins.
Salil's main project involved investigating the optimum conditions for making sclerosant foam - used in the treatment of varicose veins. This involved, along with altering the ratios and volumes of sclerosant, making batches of foam at different temperatures (using a walk-in fridge) and altitudes (which we did by conducting several experiments on Mount Titlis, Zurich).

Daniel Taylor 2012
Daniel is a second-year biomedical student at the University of Surrey who is considering a career in medicine after his primary degree.
His main research has to been to perform an audit of the 10 year results of radiofrequency ablation of the great saphenous vein. At the time of performing this research, there were no figures anywhere in the world as to the 10 year results from this procedure.
Daniel will be submitting his figures for publication in peer-reviewed journal and presenting his figures nationally later this year.

Charlotte Thomas 2011/12
Charlotte is a third-year medical student at Southampton Medical school who returned to The Whiteley Clinic this year for a second summer research fellow post. Following on from her success last year (see below) Charlotte performed a retrospective audit on the changes of endovenous surgery at the Whiteley clinic from 2006 to 2011.
She made some very interesting observations related to the number of procedures required per patient, the number of devices required per leg and the number of sessions of treatment required for primary or recurrent varicose veins. Her research has been submitted for publication in a peer-reviewed journal and will be presented nationally.
