Abstract

This article aims to review the scarce available evidence on the effectiveness of the Well Leg Programme within the Lindsay Leg Clubs in terms of preventing wound recurrence and improving members' wellbeing. It collates the numerical data on members' wounds and healing rates from the Lindsay Leg Club relational database and members' narratives from a qualitative service evaluation of the Lindsay Leg Clubs. Findings of the review suggest that remaining within the Well Leg regime for several months (or longer) after having had a healed ulcer seems to provide further opportunity to prevent recurrence, and may also provide non-clinical benefits, such as improved wellbeing. Based on the review of available published evidence into the effectiveness of the Well Leg regime, we conclude that there is scope for further studies, including a comparison with other existing treatment and prevention protocols.
