Advances in lower limb and foot care study day
Our free advanced study days promote the best practices in skin health and wound healing
Overview
The care of people with lower limb and foot conditions remains topical thanks to the work being undertaken by the national wound care strategy programme and campaigns such as Legs Matter. Across the UK there are examples of exciting and innovative practice that is making a huge difference to patient outcomes.
