<p>There appears to be a growing acknowledgement that lymphoedema is an important healthcare issue in all countries of the world. In the UK, the work of the Lymphoedema Framework Project (LFP) with its partnership approach, has led to increasing awareness of the size and complexity of the problem and has attracted interest from the Department of Health. NHS Live, a branch of the Department of Health, will profile the work of this project later in the year. It has selected the project as an example of good partnership with healthcare agencies, professionals, the wound and compression industry and patients all working together to develop effective services. All of the LFP’s documents will be featured on the NHS Live website.</p>
