title: [The role of the nurse in the treatment of leg ulcers].
abstract: A university diploma in wounds and healing is now open to state-qualified nurses. They must manage the pain when removing the dressing and adapt the dressing, treat the infection, encourage the progression of the granulation and take charge of the compression. New information transfer tools such as remote assistance are increasingly being used to avoid patients having to travel to a clinic and to reinforce the complementary skills offered by nurses and experts.
