About Us

The Vascular and Endovascular Research Network (VERN) is an international, multidisciplinary collaborative dedicated to improving vascular care through cutting-edge research and innovation.

We believe that collaboration is key to improving outcomes for patients with vascular diseases. We welcome professionals from diverse specialties, including:

  • Vascular surgical trainees
  • Interventional radiologists
  • Vascular scientists
  • Vascular nurses
  • Medical students and early-career researchers
  • Experienced academics and clinicians involved in cardiovascular research

By fostering a dynamic and inclusive network, we create opportunities for professionals at all stages of their careers to contribute to cutting-edge research and audits that have a direct impact on clinical practice.

Currently, our network includes over 40 cardiovascular surgical centres across England, Wales, and Scotland, making a significant contribution to vascular research. Our influence continues to grow, with active expansion into Australia, New Zealand, and the United States.

We welcome new members who share our vision for improving vascular care through high-quality research. Whether you’re a trainee, a seasoned clinician, or a researcher, your expertise and enthusiasm can make a difference.
