The BRITISH LYMPHOLOGY SOCIETY (BLS) is a medical charity, drawing its members from healthcare practitioners and lymphoedema therapists who are engaged in the treatment of chronic oedema and lymphoedema.
The objectives of the society are:
• To advance education and knowledge in the field of lymphology and related subjects.
• To foster interest in and co-ordinate a strategy for improving the management of chronic oedema, particularly lymphoedema.
• To produce and maintain a register of specialist centres in the UK and Ireland.
• To benefit patients by improving the knowledge, expertise and skills of healthcare professionals treating them.
This year’s BLS Annual Conference will be held in Manchester Town Hall from 3-5 October. The conference will highlight the increasing range of disciplines and treatment methods that play a role in the management and treatment of lymphoedema.
