The first ever Legs Matter Awareness Week took place during 3–9 June this year, and what a week it turned out to be! A great number of clinicians, patients and corporate sponsors got involved and ‘did their bit’ to highlight the problems arising in the lower limb and foot, and the impact this has on individuals, health services and society itself. If you took part in the campaign, thank you so much for helping to spread the message — it makes a difference.
