Is there a need for expansion of public health knowledge relating to lower limb and foot care?

Ellie Lindsay

The expansion of public health knowledge in this technological age has given practitioners the potential to present a collective voice to drive resource allocation for wound care pathways. This has been especially beneficial in taking education forward, relating to prevention, wound management and research for people experiencing problems of the lower limb, lymphoedema, chronic wounds and foot-related issues. However, in spite of healthcare resource and associated spending, currently in the UK there is little effective advocacy at a national level. It is reasonable to expect that modest attention to this could boost its benefits.
