How we can help
Our service aims to educate and raise awareness among patients, families, carers, and healthcare professionals regarding tissue viability, lymphoedema, and wound management.
We collaborate with communities by providing:

- comprehensive care focusing on the four cornerstones: skin care, external support, exercise programs, and simple lymphatic drainage for patients and their carers
- educational sessions and training for care homes during clinical visits
- support to maintain individuals’ independence in their chosen places of care, reducing unnecessary hospital admissions, and facilitating timely hospital discharge
- formal training and educational programs
How to get help
Referrals can be initiated by any healthcare or social care professional, as well as by carers or patients who self-refer through the single point of access (SPA).
