The Vascular Lab at King's is one of the busiest in the uk but what better opportunity could there be to develop your skills in this environment. We perform a complete set of vascular ultrasound investigations including;
- Transcranial imaging for the national paediatric sickle cell screening program
- Renal artery and transplant kidney
- Vascular access for dialysis fistula and mapping including for endo-AVF
- Specialist work for diabetic foot including pedal arterial and ultra-distal bypass graft surveillance
- Urgent scans for vasculitis such as GCA pathways
- All the usual scans such as peripheral arterial and venous and carotid.
Although the department is busy the support required can be individually tailored to your existing experience so full training can be provided in areas not already within your scope, we always aim to ensure there is sufficient senior support available while encouraging independent practice. Furthermore there is a lot of scope for you to be actively involved in teaching and training as we have STP trainees, non STP trainees and a student from the Gloucester university undergraduate program.
We ensure all scientists have allocated time away from direct patient care to participate in audit and project work and we have had multiple projects presented at a variety of conferences. We also have a daily co-ordinator role which everyone participates in.
