Promoting self-management in the treatment of chronic oedema

What’s it about?

Often those with lower limb conditions such as chronic oedema can find managing their condition challenging which can lead to treatments failing and patients being labelled as non-concordant with compression therapy. We explore what it means to self-manage, the challenges faced by patients using compression therapy, and give some useful tips in aiding self-management.

Who it’s suitable for?

For both patients and clinicians who have or manage chronic oedema at home.
