EM307: TAKING CHARGE AND TREATMENT OF THE PATIENT WITH LYMPHOEDEMA: FROM REHABILITATION TO THERAPEUTIC EDUCATION

TAKING CHARGE AND TREATMENT OF THE PATIENT WITH LYMPHOEDEMA: FROM REHABILITATION TO THERAPEUTIC EDUCATION

Lymphedema is a chronic, progressive and potentially disabling pathology, which needs to be managed according to current scientific evidence in lymphology and according to the model of treatment for chronic diseases.

Starting from theoretical knowledge and the patient's clinical assessment, it will be possible to create a personalized and appropriate treatment path for the person as well as the pathology.

The aim of this training course is to provide participants with the theoretical foundations, scientific evidence and practical skills to implement effective and appropriate treatments for the individual patient suffering from lymphedema.
