Understand the assessment

Ask how the wound has been classified, what circulation tests show and which existing treatments have been considered.

Consider treatment demands

Discuss surgery, discussions, pin-site care, transport adjustments, mobility and support at home. Your ability to follow a supervised plan matters.

Make a shared decision

Ask your team to explain the likely benefits, uncertainties, risks and alternatives in your particular situation. There is no automatic eligibility checklist here.
