5. What I have learned: patient-to-patient advice

Interactive workshop session open to patients

Facilitators: Lori Radke, PT, CDT; Catharine Bowman; Heather Watt, OT

Living with lymphedema? We want to hear from you as a lymphedema expert! The CLF recognizes the vast, experiential knowledge that is available through patient voices and wishes to engage patients in developing education for other patients and those involved in their lymphedema care. The format for this session will be a small group, interactive workshop for participants to collaborate, brainstorm, and ultimately create a ‘living’ document of advice to support current and future lymphedema patients along the journey of living with lymphedema. No identifying information will be collected or published for this document. Please attend this session if you would like to be part of this exciting project!

Session objectives: To provide a safe, inclusive space for patients to collaborate, connect, and create:

A list of suggestions to share with other patients on what they feel could have made their lymphedema journey smoother.

A list of patient recommendations that reflect the goal of patient-centered lymphedema management.
