JCN are proud to be working with the All Wales TVN Forum to launch the new ‘Standards for Leg Ulcer Care in Wales’.

This new resource will be your guide and serve as a benchmark for leg ulcer and lower limb wound management and treatment in Wales from June 2024. The guidance is designed to help you optimise clinical outcomes and healing rates across Wales with a standardised evidence-based approach.

This event is the official launch — come and meet the All Wales Tissue Viability Team along with colleagues from across Wales and our industry partners to learn how this new document will help you in your everyday practice.

The event is free for all HCPs working in Wales and a complimentary lunch will be provided.
