Leg Club Benefits
Summary
 Over £400 million is spent annually on leg ulcer care, and surveys show that 25-65 per cent of district nurses time is spent caring for patients with leg ulcers. Leg Club is a highly cost-effective innovative model for community based leg ulcer management, delivering exceptional benefits to patients, nurses and care providers. Evidence from Leg Clubs around the UK and overseas illustrates enhanced patient quality of life through improved healing rates, remarkably low recurrence and positive health beliefs. This is achieved at greatly reduced cost compared to conventional home based treatment
