Most nurses working in primary care settings will assess, treat and manage patients with a wide range of chronic wounds and skin conditions (Armstrong, 2017). Venous leg ulceration is extremely common; however, it is thought that around only 53% of patients heal fully within one year (Guest et al, 2018). This represents a significant number of patients and a large proportion of nursing time. Patients often experience skin disorders because of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI), and to improve outcomes there is a need not only to heal the ulceration, but also to manage the whole limb in respect of dermatological issues, such as wet, itchy varicose eczema, hyperkeratosis, dermatitis and fungal infection, to name a few.
