Individuals living with problems of the venous and lymphatic system, such as oedema, heavily exuding wounds, chronic pain and the associated issues of poor quality of life and social isolation, may find they are not best served in a purely clinical environment. This video gives a brief overview of the Leg Club model for lower limb care from a social prescribing perspective kindly provided by Dr Rachel Stow, Lead GP at Wyke Regis Medical Practice.

In our eleventh episode, we welcome back our guest speaker Mark Whiteley - a Professor and Consultant Venous Surgeon and Consultant Phlebologist of The Whiteley Clinic, London. Visit https://thewhiteleyclinic.co.uk/team/... for more information. In this episode, Mark expands on treatments that may help or hinder two key concerns when treating varicose veins, specifically Leg Wounds, and Leg Swelling. In both cases, Mark explains the importance of treating the underlying cause of leg wounds and/or leg swelling first to rule out more complex venous disease, lymphedema or arterial issues. This helps ensure more complete, high quality and sustainable results are possible. This concludes the third and final part of Mark's podcasts which have explored themes relating to "Venous Disease". We recommend you follow Prof. Mark Whiteley's work (see previous link) to keep up-to-date with continuing advances, new techniques as well as his ongoing research.
