CALL TO ACTION

[LymphSuppNetwork]

The LSN is delighted to announce that the document ‘Commissioning Guidance for Lymphoedema Services for adults in the UK’ will be launched at a parliamentary reception hosted by Tonia Antoniazzi MP on the 5th March. The document, which was produced by the National Lymphoedema Partnership, looks to educate, inform and support those responsible for commissioning lymphoedema services with the aim of ensuring all patients can access appropriate care and support.

All MPs have received a personal invitation from Tonia but may not attend as they will not know that this is a topic that is important to many of their constituents. Please take the time to drop your MP an email or letter asking them to attend as lymphoedema matters to you.

Brilliant news! Thank you for your contribution to the new guidance. We all know how ignorant most if not all commissioners are about LE, and the post code lottery nature of clinic services across the country.

Hopefully the launch will be well attended but more importantly that the CCGs actively use the new guidance!!!
