Case Studies
The NWCSP and First Tranche Implementation Sites have gained valuable learning through implementing the NWCSP recommendations for lower limb care. Putting the recommendations into practice in organisations of different sizes with different structures is helping the programme to develop a good understanding of best practice that can be applied to other healthcare settings to help improve lower limb care on a wider scale.
We have created a series of case studies to present the learning and achievements of the sites who have been implementing the lower limb recommendations. These case studies show a range of adjustments to working practices to help improve care for people with leg and foot ulcers.
