Description

In relation to this post, In relation to this post, The Leeds Vascular Institute (LVI) was formed in 2005 with the merger of previously independent units at Leeds General Infirmary (LGI) and St Jamess University Hospital (SJUH).

In 2014, the Leeds Vascular Institute formed a partnership with the Department of Vascular Surgery from Mid-Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust (MYHT) comprising Pinderfields, Pontefract and Dewsbury hospitals, forming at that time one of the largest vascular units in the country.

It provides a full range of vascular services including a tertiary referral centre for thoracic aortic pathology and a supra-regional paediatric vascular surgery service.

In addition, from April 2013 the LVI has also provided emergency trauma surgery cover for the Leeds Major Trauma Centre at LGI.

Our mission statement is to provide the best evidence-based patient-centred care for people with vascular disease and deliver excellent training in a supportive working environment.
