SVT Guidelines (PPGs) / Scan Protocols
The Society for Vascular Technology of Great Britain and Ireland (SVT) is pleased to make available a set of Professional Performance Guidelines (PPGs) for use by our members and the wider scientific community.
The recommendations contained in these PPGs do not indicate an exclusive course of action or standard of care. They do not replace the need for application of clinical judgment to each individual presentation, nor variations based on locality and facility type. The PPG resource is not intended to replace local department specific protocols and are designed to inform good clinical practice and not meant to be prescriptive.
The PPGs are generally reviewed every three years in order to address change in clinical practice, evolving technologies and professional progression.
Please contact the Chair of the Professional Standard Committee (PSC_chair@svtgbi.org.uk) if you have any queries or constructive criticism and we will endeavour to address these at our quarterly meeting.
