NHS Lymphedema Clinic for assestament in London

[Claudiesse]

Hi, I live overseas but I am still entitled to NHS Services.I am looking for a Clinic in London to renew the assessment of my Lymphedema as required by my insurance company.

Can anyone recommend a clinic in central London that I can contact to book an appointment?

Thanks!

Claudia

if you go onto mlduk.org.uk and look under therapists you will find either a private therapist or a clinic close to where you are going to be staying. NNE

Which insurance company? And why not an NHS clinic - LSN should be able to point you on the right direction?

Not central London, but I believe the best is at St. George's Hospital, prof. Mortimer and Dr. Kristiana Gordon head up the Lymphoedema Clinic. It is in Tooting Bec, and not difficult to get to by tube or bus. They see people privately at Parkside Hospital, Wimbledon, or if you get a Consultant Appointment, they will see you in the hospital clinic (NHS). You can get the details from the Lymphoedema Support Network or via Google. All the best!

I am being seen at St Georges by Dr Kristiana Gordon in a few days time on the NHS. The clinic there is excellent.

I hsve found the Clinic at Guys is excelent - and it is central to get to.

St George's is indeed a centre of excellence. NH S Patients need a referral from a Consultant and waiting times are understandably long. If you live in the catchment area you can be referred by a G P.

A therapist can make a private appointment. Waiting times are shorter but probably around a month.
