Leg ulcers are a hard-to-heal wound that can have a profound impact on the lives of those that they affect. While a significant body of evidence has explored the efficacy of various treatments for leg ulcers, little research has addressed the patient experience of such treatment. A total of 21 participants were recruited for this qualitative interview study, exploring patient's experiences of non-surgical treatment for leg ulcers. Thematic analysis identified two major themes, 'Failure' and 'Powerlessness', as well as the overarching theme of 'Relationships'. These findings are discussed in relation to concepts of acceptance and in the broader context of patient-centred care
