Workshops for health professionals
This workshop aims to provide health professionals with an understanding of best practice relating to the management of secondary lymphoedema.
The workshop is designed to be run over 90 minutes. We recommend that a general practitioner (GP) present this module, with assistance from a lymphoedema practitioner.
Following the workshop, participants will:
- be aware of the incidence of secondary lymphoedema in Australia
- understand the risk factors associated with secondary lymphoedema
- be able to identify prevention and treatment strategies for secondary lymphoedema
- be aware of clinical guides and other resources that can assist with the early identification and management of secondary lymphoedema.
