Abstract
CO: Having worked in palliative care I regularly encountered people with cancer-related or palliative oedema. However, there were also a significant number of patients with non-cancer-related conditions that presented with swelling. For all these people lymphoedema was having a negative impact upon their quality of life. The hospice-based lymphoedema clinic that I helped run, accepted patients only known to hospice services which meant that many more were not able to access this resource. The fragmentation of services for the management of this long-term condition appeared widespread and patients were falling through the many gaps.
