What we do
We’re the largest specialist Lymphoedema Service in the North East and are recognised as a national centre of excellence in lymphoedema management.
We treat patients with both palliative and non-palliative care needs.
Our service is delivered by an experienced team of healthcare professionals who specialise in lymphoedema assessment and management.
Malcolm, who received Lymphoedema support at St Oswald’s Hospice, said the care he received gave him “his life back”.
“I was so pleased to finally get referred to the Lymphoedema Service – the staff were amazing. The nurse I saw recognised straight away what the issue was and prescribed creams and compression stockings to help manage my symptoms.
“The difference was outstanding. In just two months, I lost two litres of fluid from my legs – I couldn’t believe it. The care and support I’ve received from St Oswald’s Hospice have made a huge difference to my life.”
