Abstract
Effective management of chronic oedema patients in the community requires a collaborative approach between lymphoedema specialists and community nurses. This collaboration improves the outcomes of care, reduces community nurses input, creates better understanding of the roles and allows patients to be treated more locally. Lymphoedema specialists in Glasgow developed study days to complement the skills of community nurses and foster a more collaborative and supportive approach to treating patients with chronic oedema. A total of 25 nurses have attended so far and the sessions were well evaluated. The need for further education sessions on the management of chronic oedema was highlighted.
