Cost: £450
Course Summary:
This course prepares for comprehensive assessment of patients with chronic swelling and diagnosis of lymphoedema or lymphatic insufficiency and initiation of preventative or treatment strategies. It is ideal for professionals who see patients with chronic oedema as part of their wider remit or as a foundation to specialisation. The course aims to equip practitioners to undertake comprehensive assessment of patients with lymphoedema and initiate appropriate preventative and treatment strategies or refer on. This course is also offered in Glasgow in September 2011.
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.
