Health Inequalities

Burden of wounds in the United Kingdom

Data taken from the Guest paper, 'Evaluations the burden of wounds to the UK's National Health Service in 2017 / 18', indicates that there are 3.8 million patients with a wound managed by the NHS annually. The annual cost of managing these wounds is £8.3 Billion, of which 667% was spent on managing unhealed wounds.

Unwarranted variation

Unwarranted variation can occur in different ways: between geographical areas, specialties, population groups and access to products and services. In order to address unwarranted variation, it needs to be identified and changed.

The impact of the sub-optimal pathway

Using a fictional patient Betty, NHS Right Care examined a leg ulcer pathway, comparing a sub-optimal but typical scenario against an ideal pathway. This scenario demonstrated opportunities to reduce the unwarranted variation, positively impact Betty's quality of life and reduce costs.
