Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the 8th National Lymphoedema Conference will be held both physically and virtually. A strictly limited number of delegates will be able to attend in person to watch sessions live whilst talks are also streamed live to a virtual audience. We hope this means as many people as possible will have the chance to get involved.
Both physical and virtual places at the conference are free of charge for Health Care Professionals, however in person spots are strictly limited and will be allocated at a first come, first served based.
The conferences will bring together the leading specialists in the discipline to present and inspire discussion on the issues and debates that are most relevant to lymphoedema treatment and research today.
Attending/watching the conference will provide insight into the latest developments in lymphoedema management, give you a thorough understanding of what to measure when assessing patients with lymphoedema and chronic oedema, and give you the opportunity to understand how lymphoedema affects and interacts with the lower limb, the head and neck, and on exercise. It will also highlight the challenges in managing leg ulcers and give you a chance to share and exchange your ideas with other professionals in the field.

- Oedema in unusual areas of the body: head/neck, trunk/genitals, breast
- Updates on the European Lipoedema Association to be launched at the British Lymphology Society conference on 6 October
