This paper describes the clinical outcomes from a nurse-led leg ulcer clinic over a period of three and a half years. Leg ulcers were assessed in a structured way and venous ulcers were treated with four-layer compression bandaging. The study involved retrospective analysis of 159 patients with 180 venous leg ulcers. Overall healing rates were 64.5% at 12 weeks, 84.1% at 24 weeks and 91.4% at 36 weeks. Healing rates were not affected by a history of previous ulceration or by bilateral limb ulceration. However, healing rates varied with previous ulcer duration, ulcer size and patient mobility.
