To address the problem of chronic oedema organisations must identify it in individuals under their care. LES offer an online course to develop the knowledge and skills to screen for chronic oedema in the ageing population and a pathway for intervention.
Select products to meet your clients needs
COS sell products to assist with the management of chronic oedema. This includes providing guidance and mentoring to support effective product selection.
Provide early intervention
Chronic oedema in the legs should be identified and managed as early as possible. The LES Early Intervention course will educate the health professional on how to screen, assess and effectively manage mild below-knee oedema and refer on as required for more complex and severe cases.
Train your care workers
