Varicose Vein Treatments for Chippenham Patients
The Vein Clinic provides varicose vein treatments for patients from Chippenham and the surrounding Wiltshire area. While consultations and procedures are delivered from our single, hospital‑based clinic, Chippenham patients are regularly referred and treated with consultant‑led assessment, on‑site duplex ultrasound and personalised treatment planning.
Patients from Chippenham, Corsham, Calne and nearby villages are routinely referred for assessment and treatment. Care is delivered by a consultant vascular surgeon, with treatment decisions guided by detailed venous ultrasound rather than a one‑size‑fits‑all approach.

Frequently asked Questions
Do Chippenham patients need to travel for treatment?
Yes. While we regularly treat patients from Chippenham and the surrounding area, all consultations and procedures are delivered from our single, hospital‑based clinic to ensure consistent standards and access to specialist support.
Why do you only work from one hospital site?
National registry data has shown higher complication rates when vein procedures are performed in non‑hospital or pop‑up settings. By working exclusively from a regulated hospital environment, we reduce risk and ensure that even rare complications can be managed immediately and safely.
How long will my visit take?
Most initial assessments, including duplex ultrasound scanning, take around 60–90 minutes. Many minimally invasive treatments are performed under local anaesthetic and allow immediate walking afterwards.
Will I need time off work?
Most patients return to normal activities quickly. Any specific downtime depends on the procedure performed and will be discussed during consultation.
