Andrew Holden introduces our new CX Future Leaders Board. Established to bring the perspectives of early-career vascular specialists into the development of the symposium.

The board will help ensure that the needs and priorities of early-career professionals are reflected in the programme, identifying opportunities to enhance its relevance to the next generation of specialists.

The CX Future Leaders Board comprises six members from across the international vascular community:

  • Ashish Patel, consultant vascular and endovascular surgeon at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust and reader in vascular surgery and sciences at King’s College London, UK.
  • Arsalan Wafi, academic clinical lecturer at King’s College London and vascular surgery registrar at Guy’s and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK.

  • Jake Hemingway, assistant professor of surgery in the Division of Vascular Surgery at the University of Washington, USA.
  • Anastasia Dean, vascular and endovascular surgeon at Auckland City Hospital, New Zealand.
