Abstract
As the population ages, more complex care is required to manage multiple comorbidities. In response, a nurse-led service was developed to care for patients with 'red legs'. This chronic inflammatory condition is often misdiagnosed as acute cellulitis and can result in unnecessary hospital admission and inappropriate treatment, with substantial resource and financial implications for trusts. Setting up the service required a multi-agency group to analyse current provision and identify gaps in care. Integrated care pathways were developed to focus on patient experience through referral, diagnostics and treatment. Evaluation showed that much of the prescribed care for patients with red legs could be carried out by patients at home and only a small number required a follow-up appointment. High levels of patient satisfaction were recorded.
