Pioneer Partners with UK Vein Clinic
From April 2026, Pioneer Wound Healing and Lymphoedema Centres is Partnering with the UK Vein Clinic.
Pioneer are specialists in the field of wound healing, lipoedema and lymphoedema and the UK Vein clinic are experts in diagnosing vein problems and providing world leading treatments to help.
Research shows faulty veins are the most common culprit for both leg ulcer formation and also frequent recurrence after healing has been achieved. Treating the veins can significantly improve how quickly a leg ulcer heals and it also reduces the risk of it coming back.
We already know the science, now we are bringing it directly to patients, under one roof, to provide a joined up service, delivering the gold standard patient pathway recommended by national and international clinical guidelines.
Professor Jenni MacDonald, Chief Nurse at Pioneer said “I’m excited we have created the type of service many healthcare professionals dream of providing. I can’t wait to see the impact of vein treatments on the healing of our patients leg ulcers. Patients dealing with lipoedema and lymphoedema often have vein issues too which makes their symptoms worse, so I feel proud being able to offer our patients vein scans and treatments to improve this”.
Mr Paul Moxey, Consultant Vascular Surgeon from the UK Vein Clinic reflects “Following on from a range of studies that prove the link between ulcers and venous disease, this partnership will ensure that not only are patients provided access to the very best wound care, but their symptoms aren’t prolonged because they have access to vein treatment with UK Vein Clinic. This is a genuine win-win for the patient, the NHS and the private sector.”
