A prospective study has been undertaken to determine the feasibility of nurse-led pre-admission clerking of patients with vascular disease. A total of 249 of 300 patients with planned admissions attended the clinic; 91% of patients with varicose veins, 83% of patients about to undergo endovascular procedures and 24% of patients awaiting arterial reconstruction were seen in the clinic. Patients with arterial disease were significantly more likely to rely on other people to bring them to the clinic than those with varicose veins. As a result of their age and frailty and their presenting symptoms, patients with arterial disease are less likely to benefit from a pre-admission clinic than patients with either varicose veins or general surgical disorders.
