With the rising number of people living with venous leg ulcers (VLUs),¹ there is a significant need in the UK to incorporate fast and easy-to-use methods of disease assessment for people living with or at risk of VLUs. Among these methods, ankle-brachial pressure index (ABPI) is an established technique for arterial assessment in people with VLUs, but an estimated 40% of leg ulcer patient records in the UK show a lack of ABPI measurement,² potentially leading to sub-optimal patient outcomes.

Incorporating automated ABPI assessment in routine care can help overcome this significant hurdle by saving time and resources for clinicians and the National Health Service (NHS).

In this webinar, Dr Leanne Atkins and Nicola Wallace share clinical evidence, best practice advice and an algorithm for incorporating automated ABPI assessment in routine clinical care. Our speakers will:

• Explain the unmet needs in improving ABPI measurements in the UK
• Review clinical evidence on automated versus traditional ABPI and share a clinical pathway for automated ABPI
• Discuss the NICE DG52 guideline and routine clinical use of automated ABPI devices in wound care³
• Highlight future recommendations for automated ABPI in line with the NICE recommendations
