How To Run an Efficient Venous Service?

Abstract

This chapter describes and discusses how to provide an efficient venous service for the patient with venous ulceration. In particular, it will discuss the pros and cons of a one-stop clinic, the best way to organise such a clinic, and how the clinic might efficiently communicate and collaborate with those managing venous ulceration in the community. We will not debate whether all patients with venous ulceration should be seen in such a clinic because this will be discussed in Chapter 23.
