LSN - The Lymphoedema Support Network

LSN

The Lymphoedema Support Network is a registered charity and the UK's national patient support organisation for lymphoedema.

The Lymphoedema Support Network (LSN) takes the lead role in educating and supporting other patients with this condition by providing a high standard of information and promoting self-help.

The Charity has become the largest information resource for lymphoedema in the UK, producing an on-going series of fact sheets, initially for patients; however, the high standard of this information has lead to healthcare professionals ordering them for use in hospitals and lymphoedema clinics. Two self-help DVDs produced for patients have also proved to be a valuable resource and teaching aid for healthcare professionals. In addition, the Charity operates an information and support telephone line, produces a quarterly newsletter, maintains a website, promotes the formation of self-help support groups around the country and campaigns at national level for improved standards of care.

The LSN's aims are:

  • To provide support for people with lymphoedemaTo provide information about lymphoedema and its treatment
  • To work towards the availability of better national resources for lymphoedema treatment
  • To maintain contact with healthcare professionals working in lymphoedema management
  • To promote a network of support groups throughout the UK for people with lymphoedema
  • The LSN provides information and support to people with lymphoedema due to any cause and those 'at risk' of developing the condition.
