Course Description

Lipoedema is often overlooked, misdiagnosed, or mistaken for obesity or lymphoedema. This practical introductory evening lecture is designed to give healthcare professionals the knowledge and confidence to recognise lipoedema in clinical practice — and know what to do when they spot it.

• What lipoedema is and how it presents
• How to recognise the key signs and symptoms
• How to differentiate between lipoedema, obesity and lymphoedema
• The different stages and presentations of lipoedema
• When and where to refer your patient
• Available treatment and management options
