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. We hold an annual strategy day
and are committed to continuously improving the care we can deliver for the
