- Abstract
Keywords: clinical practice; education; subspecialty; training; vascular nurse; vascular service EN clinical practice education subspecialty training vascular nurse vascular service 88 90 3 06/01/23 20230501 NES 230501 Like most developed countries with an ageing population, the incidence of patients with vascular disease in Hong Kong is predicted to increase rapidly in the next few decades. The vascular nurse clinic is mainly aimed at stable patients, providing them with a comprehensive service (eg, vascular patients suffering from asymptomatic carotid stenosis <70%, abdominal aortic aneurysm <5 cm and varicose veins; Figure 1A-C). The establishment of vascular nurse clinics may reduce waiting time in physician's clinic and enhance patients' background knowledge on their vascular disease.
