    Does anyone know of clinics that specialise in leg ulcers in ireland or northern ireland? My dad has been suffering with leg ulcers for years and it is really taking its toll. He had nurses treating these before but felt they did no good for him as they were not specialised in the area.

    In the Donegal/Derry area.

    Thanks for any information or help.

    Kathleen13, My Dad suffered from Leg Ulcers for years but public health nurse use to clean them.. Has your Dad tried using Manuka Honey on them - it really is worth a go

    Hi kathleen,
    I just read in In Irish Times healthplus, 8th nov,there is a fantastic clinic in the Beacon Hospital that uses 'autologous platelet gel spray' and skin grafting. This the article.

    Hope this helps.
