Abstract/OtherAbstract:
This article describes a two-year project to develop resources for the improvement of leg ulcer management. It was felt that an audit tool and complementary resources, such as a resource pack and implementation guide, could help practitioners to implement clinical guidelines on leg ulcer management in practice. The audit results from the pilot project are briefly described and discussed in terms of informing future work.
