Kendal Lymphology Centre (KLC) was created by Denise Hardy (a clinical nurse specialist with over 20 years experience in the field) to act as a link between patients and health care professionals. Emphasis is on holistic assessment and appropriate treatment (according to patient need) and includes all aspects of lymphoedema management. Self management, education, health promotion, and prevention advice is also provided as part of the care package. With expert care all patients suffering from lymphoedema and other related conditions are given the best opportunity and expertise to control, improve and effectively manage their condition and improve the quality of their lives. Funding for treatment Sadly dedicated funding for lymphoedema treatment is not widely available in Cumbria; however, Cumbria Primary Care Trust will consider referrals made through your GP. A referral form can be downloaded by clicking here. Please ask your GP to complete the form and send it to the address on the form. Private treatment is also available if necessary (when funding is not granted). KLC also has provider numbers for many of the private insurance companies.
