 Our Mission
IVS is committed to providing the highest quality non-invasive vascular investigations for vascular disease using ultrasound technologies.

We aim to achieve this in four ways:
  1. Train and retain quality staff - Experienced vascular technologists are difficult to recruit. IVS has trained nine members of staff to the standards required by The Society for Vascular Technology and has two trainees. By retaining a pool of qualified staff we can guarantee high quality services and train our future staff.

  2. Standardise investigations - Our staff have access to the best diagnostic instruments and are audited every six months to ensure high standards in diagnosis and reporting.

  3. Reinvest capital to maintain standards - Securing capital to purchase 'state-of-the-art' equipment is essential to maintain the highest standards. IVS uses these expensive instruments continuously, 8.00am to 8.00pm and reinvests profits to purchase up to date equipment.

  4. Research and introduce new technologies - IVS has strong links with the Cardiovascular studies unit at the University of Manchester and currently provides staff and instruments for research into the causes of stroke in young adults and dementia in the elderly. We have developed new techniques for identifying patent foramen ovule using Transcranial Doppler techniques, which may have an important role in stroke and heart attack in young people. We currently provide staff and equipment to investigate the potential role of sclerotherapy in the treatment of varicose veins. These research developments will lead to new diagnostic technologies offered by IVS.

Our mission for excellence benefits our customers in several ways:
  • High clinical standards
  • Reduced risk to patients
  • Rapid diagnosis and reporting
  • Guaranteed NHS targets
  • Reduced service costs
  • Reduced medico-legal costs
  • Flexible, tailor-made services
  • Introduction of new diagnostic techniques
