Recent developments from the European and British Lymphology Society meetings.

I have recently attended both the European Society of Lymphology meeting in Genoa, Italy, and the British Lymphology Society meeting in Birmingham, UK. I tweeted lots of interesting facts and quotes from those meetings, but I realize that most LSN members probably don’t follow me on Twitter!

I therefore thought it would be helpful if I posted these tweets on the LSN forum, along with a slightly longer explanation of the facts and figures behind the tweets (as I am allowed more than 160 characters on the LSN!). I will post these pieces regularly in the coming weeks.

If you would like to follow me on Twitter, please search for @OxfordOLP.

There is also a lot of information available on our website olp.surgery

That sounds like a plan!! will look forward to reading your expanded tweets and may even start following you! I have found any Conference I have attended to be immensely useful as a lymphoedema patient.

Brilliant lovesradio! Spread the word.....

It is always good to have patients involved in conferences. It means that research can address patient needs, not what doctors want to research.
