The analysis combines public desk research with proprietary FMR primary research, drawing on six quantitative and qualitative studies conducted across wound care, compression and lymphology. The underlying primary research includes approximately 1,300 healthcare professionals, fitters, pharmacists and patients and around 1,700 patient record forms.
