What happens when lower limb care starts earlier?
Yateley Medical Centre introduced immediate and necessary compression at the first appointment, helping patients begin treatment sooner and giving them the best chance of early healing.
Because it doesn't have to be this way.
Could your service take a similar approach?

The message from the Frontier report is clear:
Improving lower limb care isn't just better for patients.
It makes economic sense too.
So if we already know what works, why are so many people still waiting too long for the right care?

🚨 Legs Matter Week 2026 starts today!
Across the UK, too many people are still experiencing avoidable pain, delayed healing and preventable lower limb harm.
But better care is possible.
This week, we're bringing people together to champion earlier intervention, guideline-based care and practical action.
Because it doesn't have to be this way.

Up to 50% of community nursing time is spent managing wounds.
Delayed lower limb care impacts patients, clinicians and healthcare services every day.
Earlier intervention and guideline-based care can improve outcomes and reduce avoidable harm.

Lower limb wounds cost the NHS an estimated ÂŁ5.8 billion every year đź‘Ł
But this isn’t just about cost.
It’s about:
❌ Preventable harm
❌ Delayed care
❌ Patients living with pain and reduced mobility
Much of this is avoidable.
