What’s new

The launch of this new document at the British Lymphology Society’s Annual Conference is anticipated to make a significant improvement to care of people with lower leg swelling and chronic leg wounds.

This patient guide focuses on lymphoedema and advises on what to look out for, causes, reducing risks, how to get diagnosed and management of treatment

The Legs Matter coalition came about because there were a number of us who thought 'enough is enough'.
