Lymphoedema Care in Scotland

I heard about this document in the introduction to the Patients Day at the ILF Conference in Glasgow. You can find it here if you are interested. scotland.gov.uk/Resource/00...

My understanding is that it drew on the Welsh Strategy for Lymphoedema and the patients' voice was articulated through Amanda Platt, the project officer with Macmillan Lymphoedema Project for Scotland. Huge thanks to Amanda, who I was delighted to meet again at the ILF Conference and learn of her new job now that the Project has ended.

Thank you so much for posting this. I found it of the utmost interest, I fall in to the primary category. I am looked after by south west Scotland and there care and consideration is brilliant. The supply of garment and stocking works but falls down at the primary level when the local Dr and his surgery/chemist cannot get them regularly every three months.

thank you again
