- Venous eczema
- Swollen ankles (due to venous causes)
- Venous leg ulcers

How The Whiteley Protocol™ was developed
The Whiteley Protocol™ was developed by Mr Mark Whiteley (consultant vascular surgeon) and Miss Judy Holdstock (senior vascular technologist) of The Whiteley Clinic. The first Whiteley Protocol™ was produced in 1999. However since then, we are continually updating it on the basis of our research and audit results, research from other experts around the world and taking into account new technologies and inventions that are continually appearing.
