Timely diagnosis is essential for effective lymphoedema management, with early identification significantly improving quality of life. This webinar explores practical tools that support diagnosis and highlights the vital role of the Lymphoedema Association of Australia (LAA) in strengthening national awareness and clinical capability.
Join us for a practical and insightful webinar on recognising and managing lymphoedema in cancer care. Presented by two clinicians (GP Dr Debbie Geyer & Nurse Researcher Dr Louise Hobbs) who also live with lymphoedema, this session blends clinical expertise with real‑world experience to highlight early diagnosis using the LAA Flowchart, best‑practice management, and the challenges people face navigating treatment and support.
Cancer nurses will gain practical strategies to advocate for timely referrals, improve continuity of care, and support patients with empathy, confidence, and evidence‑based guidance.
Learning Objectives:
- Improve understanding of lymphoedema and early recognition
- Understand evidence-based treatment pathways
- Integrate lived-experience insights into clinical practice
- Deliver holistic, person-centred support.
