Vascular disease expert helps to form best practice for patients

Vascular disease expert Dr Chris Seenan made a huge contribution to a new European consensus statement summarising all the current evidence and best practice in caring for people with peripheral arterial disease (PAD).

Dr Seenan, a Senior Lecturer in Glasgow Caledonian University’s School of Health and Life Sciences’ Department of Physiotherapy and Paramedicine, and key researcher in the Research Centre for Health Ageing Well Research Group, joined experts from across Europe for the study.

He said the consensus statement would help to guide management of people with PAD across Europe and should enhance care for the 25 million people living with the disease.

Dr Seenan said: “I was invited to contribute due to my previous research, conducted at Glasgow Caledonian University, developing new interventions for people with this condition. I was delighted to be part of this European consensus statement that should benefit millions of people with PAD.”

The consensus statement will soon be published in the European Heart Journal, one of the top medical journals in the world.

Dr Seenan’s research has extended to include participatory methods, exploring how they can be used to collaboratively create, adapt, evaluate, and implement new healthcare interventions for people with long-term conditions.
