Assessment, Diagnosis and Referral Pathway for Patients with Lower Leg Ulcers
Significant challenges remain in Europe with regards to consistently offering patients with lower leg ulcers a fast and correct diagnosis, and thereby prevent lengthy treatment plans with little success and substantial patient suffering.
Too many patients are never offered the right treatment due to incorrect diagnosis and failure to see the right specialist. EWMA wishes to address this in a project with multiple deliverables addressing the current needs and challenges in leg ulcer diagnosis across Europe. Based on the EWMA Document: 'Lower Leg Ulcer Diagnosis & Principles of Treatment'. A one-page clinical guidance with assessment, diagnosis and referral pathways for patients with lower leg ulcers was produced.
