Warning signs. Contact us and your local doctor immediately for calf pain or swelling, chest pain or breathlessness, fever, wound redness or discharge, or a sudden loss of function.

Local care. Suture or clip removal and routine wound checks can be done by your GP or practice nurse using the instructions provided.
