Lymphoedema Clinic 

 

Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that involves swelling which may affect a patient's arms, legs or other parts of the body. This may be caused by conditions such as cancer or their treatment or it can be congenital. 

 

The service offered at Rowcroft aims to enable the individual to improve the condition by exercise, massage, wearing of compression garments and skin care. This nurse led service sees over 600 patients each year.
