Patients with long-term vascular conditions, including females and those from an ethnic minority background, are being sought by the University of Leicester to help shape research.
The University of Leicester is looking for patients with long-term vascular conditions, especially women and people from ethnic minority backgrounds, to help guide their research. In 2023, the university’s vascular research team created a registry of patients, their carers, and interested members of the public to gather their input on new research ideas.
They want to ensure the registry reflects the diversity of the UK’s population. They are particularly seeking patients with severe peripheral arterial disease (PAD), such as those who have had vascular amputations, as well as those in the early stages of PAD, like those diagnosed with claudication.
