Healthy legs are happy legs!

Looking after your legs each day can help prevent swelling, varicose veins, and ulcers that take longer to heal.

Simple habits make a big difference, keep moving, moisturise daily, elevate your legs, and check your skin for any changes.

These small steps really do protect your circulation and keep you feeling your best.

Inspiration in Vascular Nursing

I wanted to share this brilliant podcast from Wounds UK: “My Vascular Journey, from student to nurse consultant.”

In it, Dr Leanne Atkin talks about her pathway in vascular nursing — the challenges, the learning, and the passion that drives her practice.

As someone who is deeply committed to wound and vascular care here in the Algarve, I found this really inspiring. It’s a reminder that our profession is always evolving, and that by learning and sharing, we can make a real difference in people’s lives.

When is a wound considered “chronic”?

Most wounds should heal within 4–6 weeks. If they don’t, it could be a sign the wound is becoming chronic. According to Wounds UK best practice, here are 3 warning signs:

1: The wound hasn’t improved after several weeks
2: There’s ongoing pain, swelling, or infection
3: It keeps reopening or won’t fully close

Chronic wounds need specialist care, including proper assessment, advanced dressings, and sometimes compression therapy.

Early treatment prevents complications and promotes faster healing.

When should you seek specialist help for a wound?

Most wounds heal naturally, but contact a specialist if you notice:
✔ No improvement after 2 weeks
✔ Increasing redness, swelling or pain
✔ Excess fluid or an unpleasant smell
✔ Slow-healing surgical or diabetic wounds

Specialist care at home helps prevent complications and promotes safer, faster healing.
