Skills Zone 2026: Simplifying self-care considerations in lower limb compression
This Skill Zone session supports clinicians to confidently identify patients suitable for self-care compression, demonstrating how pathway-driven self-care can maintain clinical outcomes while improving continuity, adherence, and service efficiency. Participants will learn how to recognise the clinical and functional criteria for selecting patients suitable for self-care or supported self-care compression. The session also explores how self-care compression fits within evidence-based lower limb pathways without compromising outcomes. Through real-world case examples, attendees will see how this approach can improve healing, adherence and reduce clinical demand. In addition, hands-on practice in measuring and applying adjustable compression systems will help to build your confidence.
