title: Leg ulcer clinics: advanced nursing.
abstract: The author describes the development of a leg ulcer clinic, based on an electric model of care, which draws on her experience as a clinical nurse specialist. The philosophy of the clinic recognises that a 'legs specific' approach offers only short term solutions, and that a holistic method, which encourages patients to examine their own situation, is more appropriate.
