Following a Hospital Consultant referral, the Lymphoedema service provides:

Individual assessment
Education and advice to help patients with conservative management.
Assessment for and provision of standard and specialist compression garments.
Combined decongestive therapy (manual lymphatic drainage and bandaging).

The patient may initially benefit from an intensive course of treatment, following assessment.

Regular review is necessary to ensure that the condition is controlled - this is dependent on individual need.

From February 2012 DEEP OSCILLATION® therapy, where appropriate, will be offered for Lymphoedema care.
