*CCC Staff only – Recognising Red Leg Syndrome, and What to Do About It

Redness of the lower legs is common in many conditions but is often mistaken for cellulitis. Misdiagnosis means that patients don’t get the treatment and support they need and may be overtreated with antibiotics. This webinar presents a step-by-step approach to support clinical decision-making and ability to recognise and effectively manage red legs.

Throughout Lymphoedema Awareness week, there will be free education webinars available for colleagues across all sites to link onto.

The webinars will cover a wide range of topics relating to lymphoedema including:

• causes
• symptoms
• diagnosis
• latest treatment options
• management strategies

They will also feature expert guest speakers who will share their knowledge and experience in treating lymphoedema.

Attending the webinars will provide you with the latest information and resources needed to advise patients on self-care and the early signs of complications. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and participate in interactive discussions with our experts.

These webinars are open to anyone who is interested in learning more about lymphoedema, especially health care professionals who may see chronic swelling in their own practice.

People living with lymphoedema are also invited to attend the presentation and patient-focused Q&A with Professor Neil Pillar.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn more about lymphoedema and how to manage it effectively.
