Mr David Murray is a highly accomplished vascular surgeon who began his surgical training in the North West of England. After completing his training, he gained further expertise as a Senior Clinical and Endovascular Fellow at the renowned John Hunter Hospital in Newcastle, Australia. Upon his return to the UK in 2010, Mr Murray took up the position of Consultant Vascular Surgeon at Manchester Royal Infirmary, where he continues to make significant contributions to the field.

Currently, Mr Murray serves as the Clinical Head of the Cardiovascular Division at Manchester Royal Infirmary. His practice, spanning both NHS and private sectors, covers all areas of modern vascular surgery. However, his particular area of expertise lies in the repair of complex aneurysms, a field in which he has earned a distinguished reputation.

Varicose veins are a very common problem, appearing as twisting, bulging, rope-like cords on the legs. They are the result of problems with the valves within the venous system of the leg. All the veins in the leg contain one-way valves that keep blood flowing from the legs up towards the heart. When the valves become faulty, the blood gets accumulated in the vein, making it enlarged and swollen, called varicose veins. The veins become weak and twisted, and the lumps bulge out from just under the surface of the skin. Varicose veins usually occur in the legs but they can also be formed in other parts of the body.

Mr Hisham Rashid specialises in all aspects of vascular surgery including limb reconstruction in diabetic and non-diabetic patients, carotid artery surgery for stroke prevention, varicose vein surgery for cosmetic and complicated cases (especially recurrent varicose veins), abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and aortic reconstruction for occlusive disease.
