Leg Ulcers Consultation
The vast majority of leg ulcers are caused by venous insufficiency; the same underlying cause of varicose veins.
At VeinCentre, we believe that living with leg ulcers is a thing of the past.
The VeinCentre Consultation is £350.

A Friendly, One-to-One Conversation

Together you will review your medical history, including any previous bandaging or treatment you may have had and how effective you felt it was. Everyone is different and we want to make sure that this is your time to ask questions, talk through your goals and feel truly listened to by a vascular consultant, no question is too small! Our aim is to have you leaving your consultation feeling informed and ready for the next step.

ABPI Test & Colour Duplex Ultrasound Scan
Your consultant will begin with an ABPI test, which measures blood pressure in your arms and legs to check if your ulcer is caused by vein or artery issues. Over 60% of ulcers are vein-related and can be effectively treated at Veincentre. Following this, a detailed colour duplex ultrasound scan will be performed. This scan, along with the ABPI, helps accurately identify the cause of your ulcer. If an arterial issue is found, your consultant will advise on the next steps. With this insight, we’re able to recommend the most effective treatment options, tailored just for you.
