Description

The prevalence of acute and chronic wounds, including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers and leg ulcers, is strongly related to age and the development of disease, with forecasted UK population trends indicating that there will be a significant increase in the number of patients with chronic wounds and a corresponding rise in the costs of care (Posnett and Franks, 2008; Dowsett et al, 2014).

It is envisaged that service delivery will be in a range of settings across the borough of Rotherham and shall provide a consistently high evidence based level of service delivery to:

- To support consistency of care to patients;
- To reduce the attendance of patients at the Urgent and Emergency Care Centre;
- Prevent people from developing lower limb ulceration;
- Improve healing rates of wounds and leg ulcers;
- Reduce risk of wound infection;
- Reduce recurrence rates of leg ulcers;
- Improve patient's quality of life and experience

Patients will have access to care by confident and competent health care professionals.
