"I was attracted to lymphoedema due to my interest in lower limb care. But lymphoedema is so much more than that It’s a complex condition that is poorly understood and I’m passionate about educating patients and other healthcare professionals"

"Some patients have lived with the condition for decades as they haven’t ever received proper management -then they come to us it can be life changing for them"

"We are able to improve patients quality of life and really look at their goals and what they want to achieve. We are able to help them make better choices in their lifestyles whilst also providing them with the support to do so"
