I work on my feet all day, often 12 hour shifts. Developed a couple of varicose veins and want to prevent any more. Contacted my Health and Work Centre at my trust to see if they provide compression stockings. They said they don't provide them. Has anyone else had any experience with this and whether their trust provides them or not.
There are loads in the hospital obviously and I imagine there are staff who just take without asking but in my opinion it is stealing as they are for patients not the clinicians.
Would be interested to hear your experiences? Did you get from the trust? Did you get your GP to prescribe? Did you buy them yourself?
Thanks
