The Barnstaple Leg Club has been running for almost two years in north Devon providing treatment and support to older people with leg ulcers on a weekly basis. This article examines the concept of leg clubs and describes how the community nursing team that leads the club offers holistic care to local people. The nurses are able to see more patients than they would by carrying out home visits, healing their wounds and boosting their self-esteem and confidence, while at the same time reducing social isolation.
巴恩斯特珀尔腿部俱乐部在北德文郡已经运营了近两年，每周为患有腿部溃疡的老年人提供治疗和支持。本文探讨了腿部俱乐部的概念，并描述了主导该俱乐部的社区护理团队如何为当地居民提供全面护理。与进行家访相比，护士能够诊治更多患者，治愈他们的伤口，增强他们的自尊和信心，同时减少社会隔离。
