Films
Our films are designed to help people understand what is happening to them and how they can start to work with their clinicians to play a greater role in self-managing their health. They consist of peer-to-peer sharing of experiences, along with explanations from medical experts.
LIMPRINT is an international study aimed at capturing the size and impact of chronicoedema in different countries and health services across the world.
The ILF has identified a number of key priority areas that are inhibiting the recognition of chronic oedema as a major, emerging public health care problem.
