Assessment and diagnosis of leg ulceration.

Leg ulceration is a complex clinical presentation; accurate assessment and diagnosis are essential to ensure safe and effective treatment. Misdiagnosis can result in delayed healing, unmanaged pain, inappropriate use of compression therapy and avoidable complications. The Lindsay Leg Club Foundation supports both nurses and patients by promoting evidence-based education and social engagement. Ongoing professional development is essential to improve diagnostic competence and reduce variation in care.
