Leg Ulcer Forum Scotland (LUFS) is an affiliated member of Leg Ulcer Forum U.K.

Since the launch of LUFS in 2002, membership in Scotland has increased annually.

The aims of Leg Ulcer Forum Scotland are to:

• Promote a local network of resources for the benefit of patients suffering from either an ongoing leg ulcer or wound management problem, through the establishment of specialist services supported by appropriately qualified staff.
• Provide a forum to advance the education of nurses and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of persons with leg ulcers related conditions including wounds through discussion, debate and the dissemination of relevant research findings.
• Liaise with similar and appropriate organisations in other countries in order to facilitate international affiliations.

Each year it is anticipated there will be two educational events:

• An annual conference with national speakers, highlighting current issues.
• An educational event incorporating practical work shops

A £500 educational scholarship is awarded annually and will be announced to the successful candidates at the Annual General Meeting, of the annual conference.
