This Charter has been developed by the Children’s Lymphoedema Special Interest Group (CLSIG), a group comprised of health care professionals directly involved in the provision of care for children with lymphoedema and their families. The Charter represents the minimum requirements that a child or young person with lymphoedema should have access to. The aim is to inform clinicians, commissioners and lymphoedema services of what a child, young person and their family should expect when lymphoedema is suspected or diagnosed. It offers direction to the coordination of care and support with the school and community services. Supporting documents and clinic information are available here.
