Stocking Measurements
If you have been requested by a clinician to have support stockings, then please read the below guidance on how to measure your legs:
Please note that the district nurses will only measure for support stockings for housebound patients who require a doppler check (class two stockings). If you have been instructed to have support stockings, you will need to find out from this clinician whether these are class one or class two.
If you need class two stockings, we will arrange for a referral to be sent to the district nurse team who will come out to measure and perform a doppler.
If it is for class one stockings, whereby a doppler is not needed, then you can ask carers/family/friends to measure your legs. The link below has details of how to measure. It is recommended you measure legs ideally before 10:00.
