LYMPHO NEWS
Dear all,
The International Lymphoedema Framework (ILF) wishes to acknowledge the leadership that Queen Elizabeth II had not just in the UK and Commonwealth countries, but throughout the world. We send our message of heartfelt sympathy to her family and the many that grieve for her. She will be very much missed.
Here, at the ILF, we are looking forward to a busy autumn of activities and, most of all, to planning next year’s conference. The 11th ILF conference is to be organised in collaboration with our Framework partner, Lymphoedema Wales Clinical Network, and will focus on the national frameworks, highlighting the ILF’s collaborative work on international research projects and studies.
We are also proud to present our new framework, which has been established in Croatia, the National Lymphoedema Framework Croatia – Lymph & I.
Best wishes from
Christine Moffatt and the ILF Board of Directors
