right okay so this session um is on lower limb assessment and i think it's something that you probably all do pretty well actually um but i think it's quite it's worthwhile as revisiting this because the majority of patients that you visit with wounds will have a lower limb wound and and as you know it's an assessment part of your overall holistic assessment is the lower limb assessment and it gives us so much information um on on sort of which pathway we need to be going down in terms of treatment so it's an essential part um some people um maybe are lack confidence in doing this and their decision making so those of you that are more experienced please do support your peers in in sort of developing these skills uh because that will obviously optimize our our sort of ability to get people healed so when we do a low limb assessment it predominantly seems to be with patients who have leg ulceration but we know that it can be done for other reasons which i'll come on to in a second there
