This programme forms a strong basis for a career in lymphoedema for nursing, or allied healthcare professionals (AHPs). It meets the demand for the preparation of both specialised and extended role practitioners and produces fit-for-purpose NHS practitioners.
You will be trained to the level of a health care professional Band 7 Lymphoedema Advanced Practitioner as proposed in the Lymphoedema Framework Template for Management (Sneddon, 2007).
You will also get an excellent foundation to doctoral research, and/or further training in nursing and health care if you wish to follow that career route.
