Introduction
In this course, we explore Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs) through a video, an e-learning module and a quiz. We examine the key factors involved in their identification, the essential steps for assessing the wound using the T.I.M.E. tool, and the best practices for effective treatment. Lastly, we guide you through prevention strategies to help avoid further complications.
