Lymphoedema Services – Specialist treatment in the private sector
January 2025 v2.0
Lymphoedema services are currently commissioned across Hertfordshire and West Essex. Local pathways should be followed for the management of patients with lymphoedema. The treatment of lymphoedema by specialist units in the private sector will only be funded in exceptional circumstances following involvement of appropriate local services.
Patients who are not eligible for treatment under this policy may be considered on an individual basis where their GP or consultant believes exceptional circumstances exist that warrant deviation from the rule of this policy. Individual cases will be reviewed as per the ICB policy.
