Ulcer Treatment Questionnaire

Scleroderma Australia is concerned about the cost of dressings for scleroderma patients, many of whom have chronic skin conditions. Therefore the association would like to petition the Federal Government to consider either subsidization or reimbursement for ulcer treatments and dressings. To do this we need more information on the type of dressings patients use, how often you use them and how much it costs you. Please take a few minutes to fill in the following questionnaire so that we can take action on this issue.
