The LSN produces an on-going series of fact sheets covering a wide range of related topics including ‘Swollen Feet and Legs’, ‘Upper Limb Lymphoedema’, ‘Skin Care’, ‘Holidays & Travel’, ‘What is Cellulitis?’, ‘Healthy Eating’ and ‘Lipoedema’. LSN fact sheets are written by health care professionals, with additional input from LSN Trustees and members; and are reviewed by the Charity’s Chief Medical Advisor before publication.
The LSN has been awarded the PIF TICK quality mark for its health information. The PIF TICK is the only UK-wide quality mark for health information. It is run by the Patient Information Forum (PIF) on a non-profit basis. To achieve the quality mark, organisations have to demonstrate that their processes and systems produce information that is accurate, impartial, balanced, evidence-based, accessible and well-written.
Fact sheets are free to members and a charge is made to cover publication costs and postage and packing for orders received from lymphoedema clinics and hospitals.
