Frequently asked Questions
Do Royal Wootton Bassett patients need to travel for treatment?
Yes. While we regularly treat patients from Royal Wootton Bassett and the surrounding area, all consultations and procedures are delivered from our single, hospital‑based clinic to ensure consistent standards and access to specialist support.
Why do you only work from one hospital site?
National registry data has shown higher complication rates when vein procedures are performed in non‑hospital or pop‑up settings. By working exclusively from a regulated hospital environment, we reduce risk and ensure that even rare complications can be managed immediately and safely.
We work exclusively from a single, regulated hospital site to ensure consistent clinical standards, access to specialist support, and safe management of even rare complications. The clinic is led by a consultant vascular surgeon who also leads the regional NHS venous service, allowing continuity between NHS and private care and ensuring that assessment and treatment decisions are evidence‑based, guideline‑driven, and informed by experience managing complex venous disease across the wider area.
How long will my visit take?
Most initial assessments, including duplex ultrasound scanning, take around 60–90 minutes. Many minimally invasive treatments are performed under local anaesthetic and allow immediate walking afterwards.
Will I need time off work?
Most patients return to normal activities quickly. Any specific downtime depends on the procedure performed and will be discussed during consultation.
