On 17 March, the Vascular and Venous Disease All-Party Parliamentary Group (VVAPPG) launched a whitepaper setting out a roadmap for transforming lower-limb vascular care across England. Developed in collaboration with the Association of British HealthTech Industries (ABHI), the Royal College of Podiatry, and colleagues from across the vascular community, the report, Making the Case for Reform in the Vascular Sector, highlights the need to address gaps in vascular care that continue to result in avoidable harm for patients. In this episode, Medical Device Network spoke with Kathleen Van Vlierberghe, vice president of peripheral interventions, EMEA region, at Boston Scientific. Van Vlierberghe was involved in the development of the VVAPPG’s whitepaper. In this episode, Van Vlierberghe outlines why vascular care reform in the UK National Health Service (NHS) is needed and highlights the practical considerations towards making the whitepaper’s recommendations a reality. #vascularcare #NHS #healthcare #PAD Listen to the full episode at the link below: https://lnkd.in/edyGF-4t
