DVT Services

Expert DVT care, close to home

Our award-winning community DVT service offers fast, safe diagnosis and treatment, without the hospital wait.

DVT Procedure

If your GP suspects a deep vein thrombosis (DVT), we will contact you the same or next working day to arrange an ultrasound scan in one of our local clinics.  We will offer you our next available appointment, usually within 3 days of your referral. During your appointment you’ll meet our experienced ultrasound team, receive clear results, and discuss treatment options with our clinical specialists, all in one place.
