Vascular Disease Awareness Month - September 2019

By

The understanding of vascular disease and how it can affect our lives; by the general public, is often poor. The Circulation Foundation strives to highlight and promote awareness of vascular disease to the general public, so that everyone understands how important their work is. Vascular disease is the collective term for diseases of the arteries, veins and lymphatics. Every part of the body to which blood flows can be affected by it. It’s as common as cancer and heart disease and accounts for 40% of deaths in the UK, many of which are preventable.
Arterial diseases include: Peripheral vascular disease, Aneurysmal disease, Carotid disease and Stroke, Leg ulcers
Venous diseases include: Varicose veins, Leg ulcers, Deep vein thrombosis
Lymphatic disease include: Lymphoedema

Help the NHS understand how you access evidence - complete the survey

By
  NHS staff - Your help is required to build understanding of needs for access to evidence in the NHS. The national team for Knowledge and Library Services are researching how NHS staff currently access and use evidence. We have completed interviews with people from all parts of the team and in all settings across the NHS in England. The next phase of the research will seek to validate the needs that have been identified as a result. We want to understand the picture for clinical and non-clinical staff, students and apprentices, those in regular contact with their Knowledge and Library Service and those who are not. You can read about previous user research that informed the creation of the Knowledge and Library Hub and be assured that your input can make the difference. If you can help, please complete this brief survey The survey will close 12 April 2026
