We ‘sock it to Lymphoedema!’

We are taking part of the Lymphoedema Awareness Week and our staff and volunteers are wearing odd socks to raise awareness of this condition. 

Lymphoedema is a condition that causes swelling in the body’s tissues. It can affect any part of the body, but usually develops in the arms or legs. Lymphoedema can’t be cured, but with treatment the symptoms can be managed effectively. The condition can affect anyone, of any age group.

Our lymphoedema team help with skincare, infection control, exercise, fluid drainage techniques and weight management.
