What are the aims?
Leg Clubs aim to provide leg ulcer management in a social environment, where patients (members) are treated collectively and the emphasis is on social interaction, participation, empathy and peer support where positive health beliefs are promoted. The Model impacts positively on healing and recurrence rates and helps isolated older people reintegrate into their communities.
The overriding objective of the Foundation is to protect and preserve health amongst those experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, leg ulcers and/or associated conditions.
