The Australasian College of Phlebology (ACP) was founded in 1993 and is the largest phlebology society in Australia and New Zealand. It is a nonprofit organisation founded to improve the standard of care related to venous disease. The ACP has established one of the most comprehensive training programs for medical practitioners who wish to specialize in this field. The ACP actively promotes education and research in phlebology and serves the general public as a resource regarding vein disorders. Public educational initiatives such as lectures, workshops and media interviews are undertaken by College Fellows on a regular basis, as well as annual international conferences. The College also provides a valuable source of information to government and industry concerning venous disease and new developments.
The ACP is an association of medical practitioners and other health professionals such as scientists and sonographers dedicated to education and research in the field of phlebology. Our mission is to improve the standards of practice and patient care related to venous disorders.
