4. Fitters' Forum: Interactive roundtable discussion for garment fitters

For garment fitters only; pre-registration required (SEE LINK, BELOW).

The Canadian Lymphedema Framework recognizes the integral role of the compression garment fitter on the lymphedema patient’s health care team. We feel that fitters are central to good lymphedema management, and that too often this important role is not given the recognition it deserves. We know that fitters face many challenges and have few opportunities to network and share best practices, or even to share their experience. The CLF thanks the fitting team from Diamond Athletic Supplies for accepting our request to facilitate this discussion with garment fitters, and we thank garment fitters for their participation We look forward to learning from you!

Session objectives:

•        Reflect on your experience and collaborate to produce a list of things you wish to share with various groups such as patients, prescribers, manufacturers, and insurance companies.

•        Contribute as much as you wish in each section of the discussion. There are no wrong answers.

•        Session facilitators will collect this feedback and the CLF commits to collating it, sharing it with you, and considering “next steps” to continue this important dialogue. 

•        Network. Share. Have Fun.
