Award-winning vein clinic launches in Manchester

The Whiteley Clinic, a pioneer in the treatment of venous conditions, has officially opened its latest clinic in Manchester’s city centre.

Located at 1 Albert Square, the new clinic brings The Whiteley Clinic’s award-winning, research-led vein treatments to the heart of the city.

The clinic offers a full range of consultations and treatments for varicose veins, leg thread/spider veins, leg ulcers, pelvic veins and pelvic congestion syndrome (PCS).

The Whiteley Clinic Manchester follows the renowned Whiteley Protocol®, a three-stage, evidence-based approach designed to identify and treat the underlying causes of venous disease, ensuring long-lasting results and low recurrence rates of only 3.3%. This protocol attracts patients from the UK and abroad.

“We’re delighted to bring The Whiteley Clinic and our consultant-led expertise to Manchester,” said Professor Mark Whiteley, founder of The Whiteley Clinic and leading UK vascular surgeon. “This clinic reflects our commitment to increasing access to research-based, patient-focused care, ensuring every patient receives the most appropriate and effective treatment for their condition.”

He continues, “Too often, people don’t receive appropriate treatment for varicose veins. Each leg contains more than 150 veins that can contribute to the condition, yet most standard vein clinics examine only two or three of the main ones. This limited approach is a major reason many believe varicose veins ‘always come back’ but this need not be the case.”

The Whiteley Clinic provides its patients with an in-depth venous duplex ultrasound scan performed by a specially trained clinical vascular scientist, taking 15-20 minutes per leg. This identifies underlying causes which are then all addressed by a tailored treatment plan using The Whiteley Protocol®.

Procedures are performed under local anaesthetic and are walk-in, walk-out. In addition to its core vein treatments, the clinic offers online consultations and follow-ups, leg MOTs (follow-up scan and consultation for previous patients), post-foam sclerotherapy scans, DVT checks, leg ulcer assessments and a referral pathway to the Bond Street clinic for advanced PCS treatment.

The Whiteley Clinic Manchester team will be led by two highly experienced vascular specialists. Dr Mihai Tiuca, consultant vascular surgeon and general practitioner, brings over 20 years of experience in varicose vein procedures and Mr Hassan Jararah, consultant cardiac and vascular surgeon, has been specialising in cardiac and vascular surgery since 2010.

Professor Mark Whiteley, and his team were the first in the UK to perform endovenous (keyhole) surgery for varicose veins in 1999 and have since introduced other innovative techniques to its patient treatment clinics in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Bristol, Poole and Guildford.

The Whiteley Clinic has received multiple accolades, including the “Best Varicose Veins Treatment Clinic in the UK” award for several consecutive years from Global Health & Pharma (GHP).
