Leg Ulcer Service

We provide specialist care and treatment for people with leg ulcers across Dorset.

Our nurses deliver this support in clinics and community hospitals, as well as in nursing/care homes and patients’ own homes.

We also provide advice to other healthcare professionals about leg ulcer assessment and management.

If you, or your loved one, would like to access this service, please speak to your GP surgery or other healthcare professional.

The service is provided from Monday to Friday, 8.30am-5pm, and the Leg Ulcer Office can be contacted on 01202 443739 from 8.30am-3.30pm.

We also offer a specialist Tissue Viability Service.

To recognise the landmark, a Leg Ulcer and Tissue Viability Virtual Conference for registered nurses and healthcare professionals was held on Microsoft Teams 2 November 2022.

International and national speakers presented on:

  • vascular perspective: red flags for arterial leg ulcers  
  • dermatology perspective: differential diagnosis of lower limb and managing leg ulcer skin care
  • skin tone bias – Mind the GAP
  • record keeping from a coroners’ perspective and TV perspective.
