Teaching Methods:
Day 1: There will be some presentations but the day will mainly consist of practical
workshops in which the attendees should be prepared to participate. However, we do
understand that there are occasionally medical reasons why someone should not
participate as a model for their peers. If this is the case, please let us know before the
start of the course.
Day 2: The particular theme will be innovations and changing practice. The day aims
to expand the attendees’ knowledge of Specialist Practice through lively Case Study
Reviews of some of the most complex patients who attend lymphoedema clinics. A large
component of the day will be led by Denise Hardy, supported by Margaret-Anne Garner,
Yolande Borthwick and Rhian Noble-Jones. This day will explore the decision making
processes from detailed and technical assessments through to the specialist skills of
management.
