There are currently approximately 75,000 people living with a leg ulcer each year with many more experiencing other lower limb conditions such as lymphoedema or foot ulceration. Many of these conditions can be avoided if signs are detected early and the right action is taken. You will learn about the common conditions, the underlying causes, how to recognise them, how to prevent some of these conditions, and your role in maintaining lower limb and foot health.
