Lymphoedema is a chronic condition, where fluid (called lymph) collects in a part of the body causing it to swell. It occurs either because there is too much fluid for a normal lymphatic system to process, or the lymphatic system isn’t working properly.
People with lymphoedema around the world describe having a difficult time finding a doctor with expertise in this area, which is why RBWH senior physiotherapist Natalie is conducting research through Griffith University, supported by RBWH, that explores lymphoedema from the perspective of Australian medical interns.
"In many countries, medical lymphoedema specialists are not available. People with lymphoedema describe this as having a big impact on their lives, often limiting access to timely treatment and care," Natalie said.
"It is hoped that findings from this research will help us to understand more about how lymphoedema is taught within medical training, what the impacts are to healthcare services, and how access to medical care for lymphoedema can be improved." 🙌
