Abstract
Nursing management of leg ulceration is a skilled activity requiring the integration of both practice
and theoretical knowledge. Access to specialist education programmes is essential to gain knowledge
for practice. Many existing programmes require significant attendance or offer distance learning, which
can be isolating. The University of Stirling has developed a unique 8-month course which utilises
interactive learning and teaching methods to overcome this. It combines minimal attendance with
web-based delivery, and may be of interest to educators, practitioners, and prospective students.
