A NEW voluntary-run group has launched on Portland where people can get their legs looked after.

Nurses at Royal Manor Healthcare are providing community-based treatment in a non-clinical environment at the Community 2000 hall in Easton every Thursday. No appointments are necessary.

Members will be treated collectively on a drop-in basis once a week between 9am-12pm to have their dressings changed.

Other leg clubs have seen improved healing rates, improved morale and a reduction in pain.

If you find yourself with a lower leg problem, and are concerned, you are welcome to drop by.

The nurses will be available for leg ulcer management, advice or treatment.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer call 01305 820422.
