Mr David Birchley

I trained at the Royal London Hospital. My Specialist training was in the South-West of England and I hold a Masters of Science Degree from the University of Plymouth in Clinical Research. I hold a full-time NHS contract at the Royal Devon and NHS University Foundation Trust, delivering the full range of arterial, venous and renal replacement (dialysis) treatments. My private practice centres on varicose vein and hernia treatment. I offer detailed assessment and counselling regarding treatment options, or the likely outcome of non-treatment if that is required. I have the facility to transfer patients to my NHS care where appropriate. I offer private care through the Exeter Nuffield Hospital and Mount Stuart Hospital on Torquay (where I also offer an NHS hernia service). My private secretaries are: Exeter Bryony (01392) 262181 Torbay Sue (01803) 321611

I am trained and expert in all aspects of management of non-cardiac vascular disease: arterial and venous disorders including varicose veins, thread veins and arterial disease affecting the legs, neck, abdomen and vessels to the bowel. I am a member of the Vascular Society and the European Society for Vascular Surgery. I am also trained and expert in general surgery (specifically the management of hernias and minor general surgery). I am an  expert in open and keyhole surgery. I am a member of the Association of Laparoscopic Surgeons and the British Hernia Society.
