This week is legs matter week

June 12, 2023

Legs matter week aims to increase awareness, understanding and prevent harm for lower leg and foot conditions. Insufficient action on leg and foot conditions is harming people including our patients. The current reality in the UK is that people with leg and foot conditions are not being treated adequately or in time and, as a result, are being harmed. Harm includes unnecessary pain, infection, amputation, hospitalisation, loss of livelihood, social isolation, anxiety, and depression.

As part of legs matters week, Legs Matters are hosting a variety of free digital events around the awareness week between 12 – 16 June. To find out more about these events and join, please click here.
