Venous Leg Ulcers Awareness

A venous leg ulcer is a long-lasting sore on the leg, usually between the knee and ankle, caused by high pressure in the leg veins. This course explains the symptoms, who is at risk, how leg ulcers are treated with cleaning, dressings and compression, and how to reduce the risk of them coming back, based on NHS information.
