A Great Big Week For Legs & Feet’ - first Legs Matter Awareness Week kicks off June 3-7 2019
Every two hours in England, someone loses their leg due to a non-healing wound - ‘A Great Big Week For Legs & Feet’, the first, national Legs Matter Awareness Week, June 3-7, is being held to urge people to ‘stand up’ to one of the UK’s biggest health challenges.
Each year, it is estimated that more than a million people in the UK suffer from serious leg and foot conditions and the resulting delays to correctly diagnose and treat them can cause unnecessary suffering, disability, amputation and even death.
