Abstract

Venous leg ulcers and chronic oedema including lymphoedema are lifelong conditions that cause great distress to sufferers due to psychophysical symptoms. Time and resources spent on managing chronic wounds place an economic burden on healthcare providers, particularly with an anticipated increase in an ageing population and diminishing numbers of those providing long-term care. Resources are further challenged if wounds remain unhealed. The human costs are even greater, with patients often facing a lifetime of discomfort due to low awareness of venous disease, despite epidemiological studies. Possible causes of persistent venous disease may be misdiagnosis, mismanagement, or simply, no management if help is not sought. Therefore, it is important that chronic leg ulcers are managed with clinically effective regimes, reassessment, monitoring and appropriate referrals for adjunct management, alongside patient education. This article provides simple timescaled measurements to ensure timely interventions and appropriate care at each stage.
