Dates: 21st to 24th Sept 2010
Cost: £450
Course Summary:
This course explores the nature of oedema arising in advanced disease, its presentation and development and its impact on individuals and their families. It facilitates decision-making regarding treatment goals and application of treatment strategies tailored to specific patient needs in light of the different aetiologies of oedema and the complexity of problems. This course aims to develop practitioners' decision making and clinical skills to enable them to determine causative factors and apply appropriate management strategies in relation to patients with advanced disease who develop oedema.
This course is offered under the Graduate Diploma/Certificate in Lymphoedema Management. Five lymphoedema courses are offered - please see our website for further details. Two of these are offered in both Glasgow and Newcastle. The courses attract professionals from all over the UK. Therefore all courses offer a mix of attendance in blocks, with some being supported by e-learning to minimise the cost of attendance and accommodation. The programme is informed by the British Lymphology Society documents ‘Chronic Oedema: Population and Needs (2001)’ and ‘Framework for Education (2001)’, which identify the levels of knowledge and skills required to meet the needs of various groups within the affected population. The teaching of Manual Lymphatic Drainage within the programme is based on the Casley-Smith method.
Courses within the programme may be undertaken at undergraduate or postgraduate level or simply for continuing professional development without academic assessment.
