Leg ulcer clinics
NDHT community nurses will provide your leg ulcer treatment at leg ulcer clinics. At your first appointment we will do a full assessment including a Doppler ultrasound of your legs and appropriate treatment which may include dressings and support stockings or bandages.
The aim of the treatment is to work with you to heal your leg ulcer. Our service is guided by the best evidence (NICE guidance) in leg ulcer healing and our approach is to work with you in a way that supports the best outcomes for you.
