Ever wrestled with your compression in the morning and wondered why it’s so tight?
Questioned why compression garments need replacing every 6 months without fail?
Thought about buying an extra pair to ease the 'wash and wear' cycle… then nearly fainted at the cost of medical-grade compression?
You’re not alone!

We’ve heard these questions so often that we decided to create a dedicated FAQs page covering the things everyone really wants to know about compression!

Today, the Patient Choice team is in London at the National Lymphoedema Conference. This event is for healthcare professionals - but the reason we’re here is you!

We’re always listening.
We’re always learning.
And we’re always working to make our service better for the people who rely on it every day - our patients.

The National Lymphoedema Conference brings together healthcare experts to share the latest developments in lymphoedema (and lipoedema) care, research and management. Being part of these conversations helps us better understand what matters most to patients, reduce prescription problems and keep improving how we support you.

This is the care behind the care - the work that happens away from the phone calls and deliveries, so your patient experience feels smoother, more informed and more supportive.

Your patient experience matters - and it’s what drives everything we do. 💙

Cancer affects us all.

Today, on World Cancer Day, we're reflecting that for many of our patients the impact of cancer doesn’t end when treatment finishes. We see first-hand how common secondary lymphoedema is following cancer treatment - and how shocking its onset can be.

In so many cases, people have never even heard of lymphoedema, or understood the role of the lymphatic system, before undergoing essential cancer treatment. Developing lymphoedema can therefore come as a huge shock, bringing with it the reality of a lifelong condition that requires daily management and ongoing self-care.

Like Tracey, who developed secondary lymphoedema following her breast cancer treatment and now wears her compression arm sleeve every day to help keep swelling under control, so she can live the life she wants to.

Lymphoedema is just one of the many lasting impacts of cancer. There are so very many more - physical, emotional and practical - that patients live with every day.

At Patient Choice, we’re here for people affected by secondary lymphoedema following cancer treatment. Supporting access to medical-grade compression garments is just one important part of the jigsaw in improving treatment outcomes and quality of life.

Isn't it great to see Lipoedema represented in the mainstream media?!

Josie Gibson is a well-known TV personality who recently revealed her journey and experience with lipoedema, on ITV's This Morning. Josie expressed how her legs can often feel swollen and heavy after long days of filming, and also bruise easily.

Like many people with lipoedema, Josie uses compression hosiery as part of managing her symptoms. Compression can help reduce discomfort and heaviness, support tissues and joints, improve lymphatic drainage and reduce swelling.

We love how Josie described her personal experience, providing awareness to help others to feel seen. At Patient Choice, we believe that real-patient representation is crucial, to raise awareness and show to resilience of those living with chronic conditions.

That's why we launched our campaign. We hope to help patients shine a light on the courage, resilience and experiences found in real health journeys.
