Area of Science:

  • Vascular Medicine
  • Community Nursing
  • Healthcare Management

Background:

  • Chronic oedema affects over 100,000 people in the UK, presenting significant physical and emotional challenges.
  • It imposes a substantial financial burden on the National Health Service (NHS).
  • Management is typically handled by various healthcare professionals, predominantly community nurses.

Observation:

  • The current approach often involves fragmented care between specialized lymphoedema services and general community nursing.
  • There is a need for enhanced collaboration to optimize treatment strategies and patient support.
  • Patient experiences are significantly impacted by both the condition and the healthcare delivery model.

Findings:

  • Collaborative working models between lymphoedema services and community nurses show potential for improved patient care.
  • Implementing modified lymphoedema management strategies, including joint care packages and patient goal setting, can enhance treatment effectiveness.
  • Empowering patients through collaborative professional efforts is a key component of successful management.

Implications:

  • Enhanced collaboration can lead to substantial cost savings for the NHS.
  • Integrated care pathways can improve patient quality of life and reduce the physical and emotional burden of chronic oedema.
  • This approach supports a more patient-centered model of chronic oedema management, promoting shared decision-making.
