Abstract
The majority of management of venous leg ulcers takes place in the community, where it plays a major role in the workload of the district nursing service. District nurses are generally able to manage uncomplicated venous leg ulcers effectively, but may face difficulties when faced with ulcers with more complex aetiology. This article describes the formation, structure and operation of a multidisciplinary team in Salford which has had a significant impact on the management of this difficult problem. In doing so, it raises some important points for other trusts to consider when establishing a dedicated leg-ulcer service.
