Introducing Your Hosts
The International Lymphoedema Framework (ILF)
The ILF was established as a UK charity in 2009. The framework developed from a project aiming at bringing together the main stakeholders involved in the management of lymphoedema in the United Kingdom in 2022, but the ILF rapidly spread to become an international project with an objective to support individual countries develop a long-term strategy for lymphoedema management.
Today the ILF works in partnership with over 20 national frameworks around the world, all working to improve the management of lymphoedema and related disorders.
The Canadian Lymphedema Framework (CLF)
The International Lymphoedema Framework (ILF)
