London, February 12, 2024
In a groundbreaking move, The College of Phlebology announces a revolutionary upgrade to its Fellowship Curriculum, ushering in a new era for aspiring surgeons and practitioners in the field of endovenous surgery. The traditional 4-week, in-person fellowship has evolved into a dynamic hybrid program, combining online learning with hands-on experience, offering a more accessible and flexible approach for medical professionals worldwide.
Why the Change?
The decision to transition to a hybrid format stems from a commitment to enhance the educational experience, adapt to the evolving needs of healthcare professionals, and overcome the limitations imposed by geographical constraints. Recognizing that surgeons often face challenges leaving their practices for extended periods, the new format allows for a more convenient and manageable commitment.
Key Advantages of the Hybrid Fellowship Program:
- Flexible Learning: The hybrid program splits the fellowship into two initial weeks of online courses with Prof. Mark Whiteley, offering a flexible approach to accommodate the schedules of busy medical professionals.
- Reduced Time Away: Surgeons, previously committed to a continuous 4-6 week fellowship, can now break it into blocks of 2 or 1 weeks, significantly reducing the time away from their practice.
- Cost Efficiency: The revised program is not only more time-efficient but also cost-effective, with a reduced fee of £10,000 (VAT included) for the entire course, making advanced training more accessible.
- Global Accessibility: The online component eliminates geographical barriers, enabling professionals from around the world to access high-quality education without the need for extensive travel.
- Maintaining Practice: Surgeons can now maintain their clinical practice while advancing their skills, as the hybrid format facilitates a seamless integration of theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience.
- Enhanced Learning Experience: The new structure provides fellows with a well-rounded education, combining Prof. Mark Whiteley‘s expertise through online courses with immersive, on-site observation and hands-on experiences.
What to Expect:
- Online Learning: Two weeks of in-depth online sessions with Prof. Mark Whiteley covering the latest techniques and decision-making in endovenous surgery.
- Observation Week: A week spent at The Whiteley Clinic for intensive observation, consultations, and discussions with experts.
- Hands-On and Exam Week: The final week involves hands-on experience under expert supervision, allowing fellows to demonstrate their acquired skills in a comprehensive exam.

Applications for the updated fellowship program are open, with the first session commencing on February 12, 2024. The College of Phlebology invites surgeons and medical professionals to embrace this innovative approach, advancing their skills in vein surgery while maintaining their clinical practices.
