What’s it about?

We will explore why data is so crucial to understanding and improving care for leg and foot conditions. Despite the scale of the issue, there’s a lack of national data.

This makes it hard to see where the gaps are or how to fix them. Dr Una Adderley will reflect on why this matters from a strategic perspective (and with a leg ulcer focus) and Kate Williams will share what Legs Matter are doing to help address the problem.
