A Multi-Professional Clinic for AAA (MPC-AAA): Does It benefit patients?

Objective: Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) remain an important part of vascular practice. At the centre, a service improvement project to benefit patient experience, shared decision making, and efficiency in delivering care was undertaken. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) guidelines and the Vascular Society of Great Britain and Ireland recommendations1,2 were looked at. This led to interventions in the local AAA treatment pathway. Here, the Multi-Professional Clinic (MPC) for AAA and its effects on the care of local AAA patients is described.
