Mr Christopher Darby has been an experienced Consultant Vascular Surgeon since 1997, with a wide range of expertise. His NHS practice is at a major national centre of excellence, namely the John Radcliffe Hospital Oxford. There he carries out the same profile of outpatient and surgery procedures as in his private practice. This is all audited and assessed by annual appraisal and registration with the General Medical Council.

Mr Darby's clinical outcomes can be searched where it can be seen that he has a 0% mortality for infra-renal aortic aneurysm open and endovascular and a 0% stroke rate with carotid endarterectomy.

Mr Darby is an Honorary Senior Lecturer at the University of Oxford in recognition of his teaching and research.

His private practice is carried out in the largest Nuffield Health site, the Manor Hospital Oxford. This is adjacent to the John Radcliffe Hospital. The Manor private hospital has high-dependency unit (HDU) and intensive therapy unit (ITU) beds as required, and hence a much extended repertoire of surgical procedures can be carried out. The most complex vascular interventions may be carried out at the John Radcliffe.

Outside the hospital, Mr Darby is an expedition leader and medical advisor to a UK trekking and climbing company, Mountain Kingdoms.
