The Whiteley Clinic is a privately owned clinic specializing in endovenous surgery for the treatment of varicose veins and related venous conditions.[1][2]

History[edit]

Originally established as the Mark Whiteley Clinic, the institution underwent a name change to The Whiteley Clinic in March 2002.[3][4] The clinic was founded by Professor Mark Whiteley following his pioneering endovenous varicose vein operation in March 1999.[3][5][6][7][8]

In collaboration with Mr. Holdstock, he introduced the TRansLuminal Occlusion of Perforators (TRLOP) technique in 2001.[9][1][6] This minimally invasive procedure, performed under local anesthesia, targets perforator veins to address varicose vein formation.

Expansion and services[edit]

The Whiteley Clinic has five branches around the UK, including London, Bristol, Bournemouth, Henley-on-Thames, and Guildford.[10] Notably, the London clinic offers treatment for pelvic congestion syndrome under local anesthesia.[11][12][6]

The Whiteley Clinic provides services including:[13]

  • Endovenous Surgery for Varicose Veins
  • Treatment for Venous Leg Ulcers
  • Pelvic Congestion Syndrome Treatment
  • Aesthetic Phlebology

In 2019, the clinic introduced advanced treatment options such as High Intensity Focused Ultrasound (HIFU) and Endovenous Microwave Ablation (EMWA) for varicose veins.[14][15][1][16]

Awards[edit]

The Whiteley Clinic has received awards including:

  • Global Excellence Awards: Best for Varicose Veins Treatments (2020).
  • GHP Awards: Best for Varicose Veins Treatments (2021, 2022, 2023).[17][18]
  • GHP Awards 2023: Most Innovative Vein Clinic, Best Varicose Veins Treatment Clinic.[19][20]
