About the Vascular and Endovascular Research Network

The Vascular and Endovascular Research Network (VERN) is a multidisciplinary vascular research collaborative bringing together healthcare professionals, researchers and students to develop and deliver multicentre vascular research.

VERN works across more than 40 centres in England, Wales and Scotland, with international involvement, providing opportunities to participate in collaborative studies, develop research ideas and contribute to research that can improve vascular care.

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.

Get Involved 

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.
