The Tissue Viability Service would like to inform staff of some important updates to the leg ulcer templates on EMIS, following recent changes to the Well Leg Pathway and Lower Leg Pathway. These changes took place from 13 July 2026.
What’s changing?
- The Prevention Template has now been discontinued. This reflects the updated approach within the revised Well Leg Pathway and should no longer be used in clinical documentation.
- The 12-weekly ABPI template has been renamed "ABPI Review". This change aligns with the updated Lower Leg Pathway, as the Trust has moved away from routine 12-weekly ABPI reassessments for patients with leg ulceration. ABPI assessments should now be undertaken based on clinical indication and in accordance with the updated pathway guidance.
What do you need to do?
Please familiarise yourself with the updated Lower Leg Pathway and ensure your clinical practice and documentation reflect these changes.
If you have any questions or require further clarification, please contact your local Tissue Viability Service.
